Beginning of February, my flight was scheduled to land 6am but it was a bit early. I had business ticket so I got out of the plane fast, but didn't even bother to go to fast track immigration since the normal was completely empty.
I walked to the counter, 1 minute checking documents, stamp stamp and I was out.
Total time from exiting plane to airport train was like 20 minutes.

Yesterday (Monday) lunchtime came from Concourse G and noticed screens showing immigration wait time of 3 minutes. Passed by first regular immigration ramp and there wasn't much activity so screens could well have been accurate.
Fast track closed and directed to a new area to the right of the second immigration hall. Looked temporary with makeshift signs but 4 agents on duty and no queues.

I arrived about a week ago (March 24) at the "busy" early AM arrival bank from Europe - 6AM hour.
Hardly any line at all and through in about 5 minutes.

Arrived BKK 0500 from HND with need to collect bag and check in with Thai Smile to HKT. I had access to Fast Track using C borading Pass. All in it took about 45 minutes from gate (1Km) to Immigration to Baggage Clain/Customs to check-in at Thai Smile. Important note: I was traveling in Premium Economy (U booked through Thai Airways website using voucher from 2019) and that line was only a 5 minute que to desk (1-2 people ahead of me).

Arrived 30 April from IST around 15:00 and since flying business could use fast track - just 1 person before me at immigration so through in minutes. The walking from the gate added another 10-15 minutes. Did not check queues for normal immigration in detail but I did not have the impression they were overly long.

Arrived around 9 PM - zero people in line for immigration after getting off my flight in mid-economy. I almost went to get a visa on arrival before realizing that was not needed for US tourists - just walk to Immigration.

Arrived on 16 May during the 3pm bank of flights. Lucky enough, we got off at D6 - right at the entrance to immigration. Saw a HUGE wave of a few hundred people charging toward immigration, as I made the turn past VOA to fast track. I assume some folks got caught in a massive line.
Ofc, inside fast track no line was longer than 1 person deep. It also turned out that my baggage claim was directly in front of the exit from fast track.

I arrive BKK in a week, 2:30 in the afternoon on a Monday. I'll have fast track so from people's comments it sounds like its a pretty quick experience. I did not notice in this thread any comments on paperwork. Is there a form and anything to do online for declarations?
