While the SP line was quicker to get to the ID check TSA agent, once past her everyone was sent to the same line. This meant that people who rarely travel and have no idea how to go through security were making the line take forever, and rendering the SP line rather meaningless.
AFAIK there's only one SkyPriority line at MSP, plus the general all airlines elite and premium cabin line. The two lines that merge at this checkpoint are PreCheck and SkyPriority, so there shouldn't be any kettles going into the nonPreCheck lane here. I've always seen someone guarding both line entrances pretty diligently.
