I never queue for top-ups because I mainly use Oyster Ticket Stops.
People visiting 2 or 3 times a year will typically arrive in London at a
main line station. AFAIK there aren't any ticket stops in stations, so
they're obviously going to have to queue at a ticket machine or office
unless they use auto-topup.
One thing I think that many visitors might not realise is that many
National Rail/TOC TVMs can also do Oyster top-ups - not all of them,
e.g. East Coast at King's Cross or Virgin Trains at Euston (though there
are other TVMs at King's Cross and Euston - those of Great Northern and
London Midland - that can handle Oyster, though these TVMs might be
somewhat off the beaten track).
