Zero. I arrived on the early flight from Zurich. There was noone at immigration. And as they still let F pax off more or less before the rest, I was ahead of the pack disembarking from the same flight. From airplane door to taxi was about ten minutes (no luggage).

The last time I was on that flight I was three hours delayed. The PA brought me to immigration and tried to look for the shortest line. There were maybe five or six people in front of me. Still it took a long time as one of them only spoke Thai but the INS guy didn't. I guess it was 20-25 minutes. The chaos was after that, veeery long lines to go through customs. Never seen that before, customs usually is no issue.
