Locking the converter

I'm curious as to when the best time to lock up the torque converter is. I recently installed a lockup switch but haven't had the opportunity to play with it yet.
 
Exactly what do you mean by "the best time"? 2pm? 10am? Drag racing at the track/on the street? Cruising? Sorry, a little tongue in cheek there.
I found that flipping the switch before the start of the race, after my burnout, picked me up 2 tenths and 2 mph. Worked for me. I don't use the switch at all on the street, just let the computer lock up the TCC when it wants to.
