They might wave you through but somewhere someone will be scrutinised by immigration staff - especially if they arrived from some African / Asian / Indian nation. Then the queue will be held up no matter what!

Very true. You can be sure that if you arrive at the same time as a flight from Pakistan or Egypt, for example, the French Immigration officers will take plenty of time to look over each pax travel documents. The problem of illegal immigration is a major one in France - though it doesn't merit the kind of rude treatment that pax from certain countries sometimes receive from overzealous Immigration officers.
