I'm with robsouth regarding browning the roast before putting it in the slow cooker. Browning imparts that delicious flavor that just can't be duplicated. This goes for any roast, beef, pork, even turkey breasts.
Browning hamburger??? Well, I do when making my Calico Beans. Depending on the entree, I guess it depends on how much fat you want in the finished product.
I guess I am in that quality vs. speed stage of cooking because always brown any meat for the crock pot and carmelize the onions, my family won't let me do it any other way.
