Nah, it's not real-time, it's very sped up at the beginning - like 10x or something. Launch to staging is about 2.5 minutes, not 15 seconds.
After 15 seconds, it's only about 500m altitude, doing 200 kph.
Launches are surprisingly slow, really. Only about as fast as a regular car accelerates. But then, it keeps accelerating.
The later parts of the landing is real-time - ie, the landing burn is about the last 30 seconds.
In real-time, it landed at about T+8 minutes.
