During busy times, PC are crowded - the one near gate 74 is usually less crowded.
Agreed on PC being crowded but I'm a little surprised at your assessment for how long security takes at EWR Terminal C.
My usual wait (I've been in the peon line for years) is 5-10 minutes. I will agree, though, that the elite line is sometimes no advantage at all.
