It rarely takes more than a few minutes to get through security, particularly if you you are at one of the more remote security points. The best one if you have your onward boarding pass (which I believe you will) is the one somewhere around gate 30, which never ever has a queue.
Thanks very much christep! I will admit now, I'm curious, at what point does one go through immigration at HKG?

Thanks again!
