I did SRO for a wednesday matinee this past July. I got to the theatre at 9:45 am and was the second person in line. The person in front of me got there about 5 minutes before me. The next group of people didn't come until about 10:05-10:10ish. The line was just about full by the time they starting pulling names for the lottery.
The SRO line is a much shorter wait than it used to be. I'd say maybe check the line at around 9:30am to be safe, but you could get in as late as 10:30am and probably get a ticket. If no one's in line, check back every 20 minutes or so.
