I've got plenty of time with my connection but obviously, would just like to get through security quickly to relax in the lounge.
Arriving before 7 am and transfer is a bit of a nightmare, if you ask me. Last week W1 was overflowing, having arrived in a 30s so I walked to the one in the 40s and was closed, so I walked back to W1 and assumed everything else was going to be a similar thing, I stayed there and was in line for 30 minutes. I did it two nights ago again after 9 pm and W1 was fast, though you still need to take out computers from the bags (something not necessary in the 27 transfer point as they have the new machines).
These days, I assume that arriving early morning it will be messy, so I try not to stress too much. CX in particular knows who is going to miss a connection and wait for you at the gate, hold your hand and cut the line for you in security and assure you to get to the right gate on time.
