ServiceNow - Can you disable the service mapping recomputation job?

 Short answer, no - it shouldn't be disabled long term (whilst you can do it temporarily via setting sys property to 0)

I am currently discussing this with our service mapping SMEs and they advised that disabling recomputation will result in the services getting frozen.
Recomputation jobs are responsible for comparing the service to previous mappings and determining where the changes are so if we disable it no updates will get made to the service maps.

GlideRecord setValue

setValue(String name, Object value) Sets the specified field to the specified value. Normally a script would do a direct assignment, for example,  gr.category = value . However, if in a script the element name is a variable, then  gr.setValue(elementName, value)  can be used. When setting a value, ensure the data type of the field matches the data type of the value you enter. This method cannot be used on journal fields. If the value parameter is null, the record is not updated, and an error is not thrown https://developer.servicenow.com/app.do#!/api_doc?v=madrid&id=r_GlideRecord-setValue_String_Object
