Took me immediately despite long line. Walked to pre-check belt, only one there (time now about 0732 on a weekday!) and through in seconds. Total time from entering UA non-status lobby to emerging airside at Gate 73, including bag check, on a weekday at rush hour, perhaps 2 minutes, perhaps a bit less.
