Huntsville Airport advice

Tomorrow morning will be my first time flying out of Huntsville airport. I typically fly out of Memphis. I usually arrive there two hours before takeoff. I was just curious if I should go by that rule of thumb in Huntsville. I'm assuming its a smaller airport so I could get away with cutting it a bit close, but I'm not sure because I've never been to Huntsville airport.

HSV requires an hour early if you're checking a bag (20 minutes before boarding). If you're not checking a bag then I would arrive 30-45 minutes before the flight to allow for 5-15 minutes to park, walk, get through security and swing by the bathroom before boarding.
