Well, it's only my first T5 experience, and it only took me 20 minutes, but like I said, all others in the lounge/flight as we talked complained about it as everyone said it's one hour, some 1.5 hours, and one person barely made it and he thought he was safe when he had "more than an hour to go", guess not.
But hopefully you guys are right, it's more of an aberration than norm.
