The walk from Delta TSA in T3 to the PF Chang's in TBIT took just about 5 minutes without using the moving sidewalks but walking briskly.
I took a bunch of pics - probably too many. I will say that the Delta/T3 side is quite nice, but pretty sterile - the design is similar to the rest of T3 and has generous proportions. But once you enter TBIT, you travel above their security area and into some much smaller, tighter hallways and then get dumped out essentially right into PF Chang's. TBIT isn't so old that they didn't anticipate this connector coming one day, right?
There is also a new Delta help area on the way to the connector and some spots for more commerce right where the connector starts, but then nothing for the length of it.
The T4-TBIT connector is essentially the same with its approach into TBIT with the only difference being it also has a TSA checkpoint for arriving INTL pax with domestic connections which the new T3 connector lacks. Also that DL Help Desk has been open for a few months now (although it was previously hidden as that hallway was a dead end corridor before the TBIT connector opened.
