Don't think F opening changed connection times much. The train ride is lengthened by less than one minute, but the international flights are spread out over two concourses (thus more likely to be at a gate closer to the train), and overall congestion in the concourses and transportation mall is somewhat reduced.
I think any connection is probably slightly FASTER, not slower.
