Thanks!
I can't speak to the times you're looking for but there is a lane labeled for "Premium Passengers" that you can use. It's not labeled incredibly well (IIRC the sign isn't double-sided and faces the other escalator coming up from the other ticket lobby) but as you come up the escalator from the DL ticket area basically make a u-turn when you reach the entrance to the security lanes and take the outermost lane. There will be someone guarding it so flash your ticket for them to see and you're on your way.
Over the least two months I've flown in and out of PHL a few times on DL leaving on the 2 or 3PM flights on a Thursday. The longest I had to wait was maybe 10 to 15 minutes because they only had 2 security lanes open (but seemingly Thousands Standing Around) and only one person checking IDs so he round robined between the premium line and standard line.
