Google has updated the Google Analytics real-time reports to show real-time data in the last five minutes. Previously, Google only showed users in the last 30 minutes but now Google is showing both, 30 minutes and 5 minutes.

It is nice to see real-time reports as UA3 had it, at least in terms of the 5-minute timeframe.
