The next day, I flew on a discounted ticket with no priority tags and my luggage arrived in the first 10 bags. Perhaps it depends on the airport but much more often than not I've found that luggage handlers do not try very hard to put priority tagged bags out first.
If this is CO i am very very surprised. CO has their fair share of faults but this is one place they shine (at least IME) My bags are always in the first group of bags to come off the belt. The oversize bags don't seem to always be handled with the same speed as the normal luggage but that's not entirely unexpected.
