the main issue is that in that direction you go through both security rescreen and connection immigration as you enter Schengen. As many flights from North America arrive at the same time it can be crowded. If you have status or are travelling business class, you can use "acces no1" which is quite a lot faster for both operations.
I'm Skyteam Elite so hopefully that will get me into the acces no1 line. I'm planning to not check my bag and I'm pretty good at walking fast.
If I misconnect, I see there are quite a few CDG-MAD flights after mine and I don't have anything pressing to do on the day I arrive so having to wait for the next flight wouldn't be the worst thing in the world.
