I never find the lines at JFK T4 to be very long at all however. So personally, I'd take that extra minute in exchange for not having to remove shoes and laptop, but if someone was in a SUPER rush this data point might be useful.
This. Especially in the winter months when passengers have extra layers, I'll take the Pre-Check line every time regardless of the length of Sky Priority (my home airport is DCA).
