Is there any slow up exiting Italy Rome FCL airport with the introduction of Entry/Exit/System? Do I need extra time to go through immigration because of this?

What do you mean by extra time? When will you be there?
If you are planning months from now?, what is happening today is of little consequence. Be there next week? Maybe it does.
Immigration at FCO has taken me mere minutes, to almost an hour, in the old system. If EES is actually active (there have been some issues various places, so they use the gates sometimes, otherwise you just go through a manual line), then I would not expect much more delay than usual. Between arrival and gate delays, de-planing, walking forever to the immigration booths, then any wait...I figure it might be 2 hours of my life. If I get through in less, often do, then great.
Maybe others have some recent experience, but I have not really seen a great deal of valid reports (there have been some British tabloid articles and various "web" articles) of significant issues.
