Are the times actually being padded or are more flights on time now because the new times estimated for various sub-tasks reflect increased paperwork requirements and whatnot that are easy to pencil whip in the event of urgency? It's real easy to run around checking whatever you're tasked with checking and if the results are actually good enter realistic results into a company tablet later when you have a couple minutes of downtime after the plane has left your area of responsibility. You see this sort of behavior in all sort of comparable industries where increased technology has caused spot checking and audits to be replaced with data entry. This would also explain the increase in the times allotted for all sorts of non-flight overhead tasks.
