Understanding BGP Soft Reconfiguration

Hello Rene and staff, I just went throught this lesson and I was wondering under what condition would i need to configure bgp soft-reconfiguration between my bgp neighbours? If there is an hq location and three branch offices running bgp between them and there is not any routing changes being made between them on a daily basis, why would i need to configure bgp soft-reconfiguration between hq and the branch odffices? Is there an advantage or disadvantage to have this running at all times since you said it takes resources form the router?

Thanks,

Happy holidays.
