I've gone from plane to curbside in under 15 minutes, but once it took over 3 hours as the immigration area was overrun with passengers and they had to put us in a special holding room. They then apparently forgot about us - when they remembered we existed the immigration area was virtually empty.
With LAX, there simply is no way to predict what the experience will be like. I always fly through YVR now instead, although I do miss the LAX lounge.
