Yes the border control is not really an issue they can control but they can put pressure on those who can if queue's are excessive.
The airport control the capacity level per hour, a review of that with airlines might be a positive move and see what changes if any might benefit passengers, airlines and the airport in general etc.
With the current T2 works, it's going to get worse before it gets better. People will just have to live with remote gates for a couple of years.
As mentioned upthread, you hear about the times when the queues are very bad, but this is pretty rare IME.
The main issue I see is the traffic situation around T1 & T3. This could be avoided if the traffic wardens in T1 did their job and moved on the private hire (Uber and the like) drivers that sit in the T1 drop off bays waiting to pick people up.
T3 is a bit more difficult as the restrictions after the GLA incident have not been lifted.
