F baggage (actual F pax) is supposed to go in a separate bin on the plane that gets emptied first. Or so I'm told.
When it works, it works well. I landed in LHR a couple of weeks ago in F with checked bags and I was in my car 30 minutes after landing. My bags (and those of the other couple of pax in F) were out on the belt in the time it took me to nip to the toilet. No others were unloaded with them.
But yes, the tags are just for show other than that. And for the F baggage to work you need the throwers at the origin airport to put them in the right place as well.
