Actually, it does make a lot of a difference in my experience. It's a very valid question, BC.
Focus priority decreases fps to make sure to get an in-focus shot, especially with AF-C.
AF-S for handheld pictures, at close distances and apertures wider than f/4 just doesn't work well for me. Except the distance is very far or I use a tripod, AF-S is the exception for me. AF-C, especially if together with VR/OS/IS draws noticeably more power out of the battery, but here I get a better in-focus rate.
