I thought that IRIS was discontinued years ago (have you not flown in the
last few years)? So you'll now be in the same long queue as everyone
else. That can easily delay you by 20 minutes.

Correct, it was replaced by the e-gates.

They had e-gates at Copenhagen some years before LHR, BTW. It was in
2007, IIRC.

Heathrow's had them since 2009. But the early ones were slow and quirky;
the third generation ones are much faster and more reliable.
