I documented B2B timings in the QR CAI thread (also in T2) earlier this year, quoted below as an additional datapoint for those doing this on BA!

Queues were largely the same both times I went through. Passport control is probably the biggest variable here, there was virtually no queue when I arrived, however if you get held up it might not be the case for you. The below times assume you're travelling J, and using the priority checkin desk (239). The Y check-in lines are a zoo.
