My colleague went through the CLEAR line and I used standard Pre and I had finished my bagel and acoffee by the time he met me in Club.
Since losing GS status I signed up with CLEAR and look at it this way. I got it as a perk and I am (almost) always TSA PRE so I just look at the lines and take the path of least resistance. I have at times even found the basic (not PRE) TSA lane to be the fastest! No beating GS at SFO where you walk out of the GS lobby right into the TSA agent :-).
