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.
If it's a 30min wait is it faster to "do a LHR T5" by going landside then back airside?
