I live quite close to BFS and use it frequently but use DUB far more often because of available services (including US pre-clearance), faster security clearance (7 minutes yesterday mid-day in T1) and no leaking roofs (that I have seen).
Furthermore, I don't have to pay a minimum £1 to drop off or collect passengers in DUB, trivial I know but bloody annoying.
7 mins at mid day would be a fair comparison with BFS. You are at risk of misframing your comparison with busy spells for the purpose of your post. You don't have to spend anything to drop off at BFS either but they are far from the worst with regard to drop off charges. Have you seen the price at Manchester for those who want to drop off right in front?? As for US preclearance, I have heard horror stories of queue times there too. I was in DUB T1 for morning departures recently and the security queue was back to the boarding card scanners there too. Everywhere is just busy and passengers are not helping themselves...
