Build priority allows for more efficient spending. Rather than slowly making a mex, solar, and unit simultaneously, priority will passively ensure that your production is sequential. This gives you the benefits of at least some of your produced units/structures earlier and therefore longer.

A simple quantification of the principle would be when building both a mex and solar. Assuming 10 BP each and 10 metal/sec income, without priority they will both finish at around the 15 second mark. With priority, you can finish the mex first at around 7-8 seconds, and then finish the solar at 15. This will yield 14-16 metal, and the times when a mex is competing with other projects for completion is basically every time you build one past the one minute mark. Likewise, having energy and BP prioritised will allow you to take advantage of it for longer, which is an easily quantifiable advantage.

I have my factory permanently on low priority. If I want units more than I want the mex/solar/lotus/defender/whatever, I just choose not to build that other thing and then it's as if my fac is on high priority.

So am I missing something? Is there any advantage to not using priority other than not having to learn a different style of management?
