In fact, I'm usually less worried about the TSA line than the long walk to the very end of Pier D where the United and Continental gates are located.
I agree, the lines look long but usually don't take longer than 20 minutes maximum. I usually fly out on Sunday evening or Monday mornings from SFO/OAK. Flying back I do see some long lines once in a while, but it's hit or miss, depending on how many checkpoints they decided to open up.
