In my experience of setting up potluck buffets with 2-3 6' banquet tables full of food I agree that it can easily take 5 minutes or more to get through the line, but people finish and walk away at the approximate rate of 60-90 seconds per person for single-sided. I prefer to set up for double-sided serving which helps shorten the time to more like 45-60 seconds per person to finish. ChocoMom should experience slightly shorter time-per-person because potlucks generally have way more items to choose from.
