Has Southwest figured out gate lice?

Only a few flights so far, but I'm wondering if Southwest's boarding process does a better job of preventing gate lice than the other carriers. By lining up one group while the other is boarding and alternating between the two lanes, you don't have people hovering trying to jump in as soon at their group is called. The other airlines put their "priority" groups sequentially in one lane and everybody else in another lane which is wholly ineffective.
