I agree with Ed in spirit; but depending on the department size it can seem like one more thing for a thinly spread out department to take on.
I tend to set up the largest room I can find in a way to minimize cheating (extremely large spaces between rows of seats and very neatly arranged seats immediately one in front of the other) and then try to use as much time as possible (in between checking things out periodically) to catch up on reading, when doing such things. This minimizes the sense of "another" thing to do!
