There's generally higher throughout if people just stand on both sides.

Noted exceptions being if it's not a massive bolus of people trying to leave or also if the walk side is fully saturated with walkers.

There’s generally higher throughout if people just stand on both sides.

Throughput isn't everything though, for instance in train stations some people hurry for a connection, I would say let the latency sensitive ones bypass the others, except in situation where there is a concrete throughput issue.
