I've found security queues to be very random lately.

Early december, it was so bad the queue was extending in the check-in terminal, well beyond the BP checking/face recognition gates. I had to ask for an escort, or I would have missed my flight.
Got the good ol' "15 minute from curbside to lounge" in January. Feb & March was noticeably more packed, I'd say 30 minutes. Long enough to feel it anyway.

TL;DR: If you want to be on the safe side, arrive 2h before take-off. 1h *may* work.
