I find it to be very efficient personally. Many times when I've been first off the plane and straight through passport control, the bags are already on the carousel.

AKL Intentional can be hit an miss, find that if the flight comes in early its likely you'll have to wait an while as there doesn't seem to be much slack built in to handle early arrivals.
Worst I've had at Insertional was 30minutes with priority tags.
Really depends on what time of the day you arrive and were from, e.g. if you come in durring the midnight Tasman/Pacific rush. You can be waiting for an while at times, they seem to have just a couple of handling teams on as its the end of the night for around 10-15 arrivals.

As above, when its good, its very good, usually plane to kerb in 20mins or less, and if it longer its not the baggage collection that's usually the problem, it is biosecurity screening after collecting bags that is the biggest holdup.
Longest wait I've had for bags was about 20 mins, and my bag was one of the last 6 they unloaded from a fairly full 777.

At international I've come to the belt to find my bag 50% of the time and the rest of the time I've waited 30-50 minutes. It really depends on the number of flights. Domestic is pretty quick
