I would Echo trying to get there a little before most people's lunch time of noon or after might be more of a shift of people who stayed later beyond their normal lunch time. I Got A Renewed license a few weeks ago and got there at 11:40 and had an able to get out by 12:20, there were a bunch of people in front of me but the line for the registry stuff moved fast. And I did that on a Thursday during quote unquote vacation week after school ended for the year.
I'd say you'll have a better chance to wrap it up quickly at AAA than going to actual RMV, but the truth is it's really hit or miss depending on variety of circumstance. There were quite a few ppl there at noon, but not so much right before lunch time, like 11 am.
