I recently sold my 1983 Stumpjumper, which I rode quite a bit the last five years. The previous owner didn't ride it as much, but he did regular maintenance on the bearings. The headset was original to the bike and still felt smooth. I've noticed that some people always have crummy headsets, and others seem to never have headset issues. I have never really had headset problems on any of my bikes. Aside from the Stumpjumper, I use sealed cartridge-bearing type headsets exclusively, though seldom anything as fancy as Chris King. Unfortunately the selection of quality 1" threaded headsets that aren't Chris King is quite limited.
