That's my usual MO.
The security line in the premium entry is shorter - 95% of the time at least - than the usual T2 line. The other option is to go downstairs to the Western end of the terminal, nearly the regional departure gates and use the security point there.
I don't know what it is about the main T2 checkpoint, but it is the slowest in the country. Even worse than OOL.
