As I mentioned in the OP, on my frequent routes, delays are a fact of life...to the extent that a 7 minute differential in total travel time is completely meaningless.
Even when I do carry on only, I usually abide by my "last to board" rule because I place a high value on avoiding scrums at the gate, and am rarely forced to gate check (extremely uncommon in Asia).
