Well, I last travelled through Luton on Monday, 4 March at 0530, near the peak time for queues, with a flight at 0715, and I have to say, I was quite surprised how easy it was getting through security. Yes, it was very busy, but all the gates seemed to be open, and there certainly wasn't any waiting on the stairs, 15 mins max to to reach the departure lounge. On my return, a few days later, we arrived back at 19.50, and ok, the airport was reasonably quiet, but from aircraft steps to the pick up zone, including luggage retrieval, was 20 mins. I think that was a record for me. I had no complaints and was probably lucky to some extent. The challenge for the airport is to make that more the 'norm' and that probably wont happen until the terminal expansion is approved, and an enlarged security is moved downstairs.
