Exactly as described. It's a tiny airport.

No fast track security, in fact there is only one security lane 99+% of the time. I've been around for, well, decades, and I've only seen the second lane used like once or twice.

But it's rare you wait long anyway, even with charters usually people stream in as they get through check-in, which flattens the peaks.

Under normal circumstances I would have zero issues about arriving 30-40 minutes before departure, which you would effectively be doing, but of course the risk here is if the inbound is late, if the team there wants to turn around fast, they turn around fast and could be preboarding before you can even get out of the baggage claim.
I've seen it, in fact I've done it, back in the days being part of a team that turned a 737 in 11-12 minutes. Eat your heart out, Ryanair.
