You're right though, they did seem to do as much as they could to take others into consideration.
10-15 minutes for one family to go through would be an eternity in the regular line as well. If they're going to take that long to get everything set up you'd think they'd step to the side after the ID check while they got things in order and then get back in to the queue once they had everything ready to push through the X-ray. If they were blocking other Pre-check passengers from going through the line while they did their thing then I'd say you're in the right to be annoyed. Being respectful of someone's need for an accommodation is important, but that doesn't mean you can't be annoyed that they don't make a small step to minimize the impact.
