If Precheck is open is it faster??

Generally, precheck is faster. Sometimes significantly, sometimes very little to none.

There is a current TSA issue affecting security lines at airports across the country. And they vary day by day. What airport are you flying out of?

If you get the option to opt into the facial recognition when checking in saw YES!

Faster? Not necessarily. Last time I flew they had more people in TSA precheck line than regular line.

It depends on where you're flying from (leisure vs. business traveler traffic.)

But it's all going to be better than sitting in a USAF terminal four hours before a flight waiting on a 141 back to Japan or similar.

Is Sunday morning typically a heavy travel time? I thought Monday would be the worst

In general, yes Sundays are busy but Sunday mornings are not as bad as Sunday afternoons.

Sunday afternoons (after hotel check out) is for leasure travelers heading home and business travelers leaving to start the work week so earlier on Sunday the better and Sunday morning is almost always better than Monday morning.

This ^^^

Just flew through Newark Sunday. About the same length. Made the mistake of not looking for TSA precheck line, but wasn't that much longer. Agent gave me a "TSA Benefits Ticket" to give while going through.

I will say I have it through my Global Entry. TSA PreCheck lets you use a separate, faster security line where you keep your shoes, belt, and light jacket on, and leave laptops and liquids in your bag. It cuts wait times dramatically, makes the whole screening process smoother, and is valid for five years once approved.
