Have Heathrow immigration queue times stabilized since the Olympics?
Last year, I flew NZ 2 from LAX to LHR twice, once right before the Olympics and once in early December before the Christmas on-rush. The first trip, it took about an hour to clear immigration because of the queues; the second trip, under three minutes. In addition, it seems that the online complaints in regards to Heathrow immigration queue times all date from last year.
As I will be traveling to Heathrow again several times this year, I was wondering if anyone knew if immigration times have stabilized to a semi-predictable length since the Olympics?
I'd be particularly interested in information on Terminal 1, but any information at all would be helpful.

A Heathrow spokesperson said: \u201cThe airport is busy this weekend as relaxed restrictions are allowing more people to travel. We have extra colleagues on hand to help out, and we're working with all airport partners to get passengers on the move as quickly as possible.\u201dHow long does Passport Control take in London?
Edit: It often takes 10 minutes or so to just get off the plane depending on where you are siting then at T3 it is a 10-15 minute walk to immigration from the plane, followed by anywhere from 0-90 minutes to clear immigration depending on the day.Olympic fears over Heathrow queues
