My son just flew syd-dfw on qf. He told me that immigration was really slow, several planes had arrived around the same time and although there were plenty of immigration stations only 4 were manned.
Does not bode well for what lax might be like for my trip in July.

In my experience for getting through customs at LAX fast - request a wheelchair for someone in your party!
My mother legitimately needed a wheelchair due to back problems (can't stand for longer than 5 minutes).
From the time we got off the plane, to getting in a taxi would have been all of 20 minutes at LAX.
You still need to schedule an interview in a Canadian airport or at a US/Canada border crossing, but for frequent traveller to US and Canada this should be no problem.
