Not sure about the reverse at the moment, but I just did a T5 to T3 transfer today (arriving at 11AM on BA from JFK) and the T3 transfer security took maybe 30-45 minutes. This is after the wait for the train from T5B to T5A, and the bus ride from T5 to T3.
This was, apparently,
much better than the alternative today of clearing immigration, because passengers and staff were reporting 3-hour security wait times from landside, and there were a number of passengers in T3 transfer desk area who had missed their flights because of the security lines.
