This is a real phenomenon. The way it was explained to me, it's because of how time takes a relatively smaller percentage of your lifespan when you're older. When you're ten, 5 years represents half your life, so 5 years feels like it passes very slowly; when you're 50, 5 years represents 10% of your life, so 5 years feels like it goes by in an instant.
