Are you using U.S. trading hours (8:30-3:15 CDT) as your benchmark? ES averages a minimum 1000 contracts per minute on "slow" days and better than 2k per minute normally.

Dosent sound like he is is getting accurate ES reg hours [front month ,SEPT now contract -or most of old June contract ]volume.
And excluding slow lunch time, 10,ooo plus contracts per 5 minutes are quite common
