Reality is slower than fiction. The killer feature of all fiction is the montage. Even straight up realist fiction with no clever time compression tricks runs in non-real time that is generally faster than reality. Ie a novel covering a 24h period does not take you 24h to read.

Conversely though, with fiction you can also study the developments of a given time frame at a level of detail compared with which the lived experience of the same time frame is mere skimming
