If you receive an update each second, you have the feeling it's realtime.  
It's slow enough to understand the data and it's fast enough to feel it as 
real-time.  It's also fast enought that you get new data before you are tired 
to look at the old data.

For other people, real time can be 5 seconds   It depends on how much beer 
they had :)
