As per some discussion in this related issue:

It would be very useful if the module could select a computed field or fields stored in the database to recalculate when cron is run, instead of when the node is updated.

I'd love to see this. I have had a few reasons to want to recompute regularly or via some trigger. Maybe there are other recipes to fix what I need:

I have an Age computed field in a content_profile node that I'd like to get looked at daily.
I have a Automatic node title that uses a computed field that needs to be save 3 times for the desired title to show up. (I use VBO now periodically. Big pain!)
