Has intl-dom transit time in IST new airport gotten faster?

Hi all, asking your advice in order to plan whether to buy a ticket w/ 1hr20min connection in Istanbul, arriving from Italy on TK, transiting to TK domestic Turkey flight in the evening (with no later option).

In my past experience, the line for immigration at the old IST airport could easily be 1 hour long (although maybe that was just to enter Istanbul and not connect to another flight). Now that the new airport is open, is this any faster? Is this reasonable to book?

We have US passports, and will get the e-visa.

Thanks!
