This is correct.  However, if you wish to have it pause between 
priorities for an extension change, try using the application 
"WaitExten".  Here's a show application waitexten:

  -= Info about application 'WaitExten' =-

[Synopsis]:
Waits for some time

[Description]:
  Wait([seconds]): Waits for the user to enter a new extension for the
specified number of seconds, then returns 0.  Seconds can be passed with
fractions of a seconds (eg: 1.5 = 1.5 seconds) or if unspecified the
default extension timeout will be used.
