Most of the functions and lists that employ the PRIME= functionality are very large or time consuming distributions. I can't afford the CPU during prime time to process these jobs, although after prime hours, I have CPU available to burn. It's a courtesy to those of us who operate backbone LISTSERVs to allow us to decide when we have big chunks of time for the large distributions, and observing the Prime= settings allow us to apportion that time easily.
