Arriving in Y on the QF flight last week (23.20 arrival from SYD) there was virtually no queue. Departing in J I cheated and used the priority lines with no problem, so can't comment on those, however I was told to get to the airport and checkin 3 hours before departure due to queues...
And as for the comments regarding a lack of immigration cards - had the same problem arriving here in KL. No immigration card given on the flight, no cards at the desk and my hotel meet-and-greeter ran around trying to find one before I got to the front of the "ASIC/Officials/Diplomats/Other" queue (apparently hotel guest is Other!). Despite the fact I had no form, they let me into the country without question....I'm a bit worried about departure though, since everyone else had the departure card inserted into their passport with the comment "Don't lose this card..." Could think of worse places to be stuck though!
My mother lost that stub in MEX once, she had to pay a fine and was questioned and then I had to leave because my flight was leaving... She was ok in the end but she had to run around to find an ATM to pay the fine to get a new piece of paper so she could get out of the country. Needles to say she was a bit stressed.
