SJC is a pretty small airport. My wife and I had several flight to from their while I was in the bay for a couple of months. never any delays.
TSA pre-check does swell at times, by pre-check standards, I don't think I ever waited more than 12-15 though. I think lots of people in the are have pre-check so there is a decent of volume though it.
The lounge on priority pass is FAR away from the Alaska gates most of the time. PDX flights always seemed to be 15-19. But a good walk before the flight.
