Yep - 10'00" of additional songs, postcards, recaps etc. - but I guess they can absorb a little bit more with tweaks elsewhere.
One aspect of the changes, they should be making the final closer, statistically the additional two entrants will pick up votes from the Televote, so should reduce the proportionalities used for all entries. Even if the 11th and 12th entries only gain 5pct between them, that's 5pct less for the other 10 when the final votes are revealed.
Yes - though in most years there have been a couple of standouts which have dominated - so it could be that the 11th and 12th entries (which are effectively two additional less popular songs from AC (*) ) just add a bit to the noise at the lower end.
(*) Yes - I know Robin Stjernberg was an AC qualifier who won the overall competition - but that is relatively unusual.

According to the PR, the Running length of the SFs will remain the same, the additional 5 minutes spread amongst the entrants to 'get to know them better'. Andra Chanson will obviously be shorter with the reduced format. The final on the other hand should be around 10 mins longer, not too much.
