It gets better - most of the time at least two of those terminals are non-functional. There's about the same number of Nexus machines in YVR arrivals as well, with about the same reliability. I figure they could almost double the number of machines on both sides but that would require spending money.
Either that or it's a union shop and they only want to process a certain number of PAX per hour.
