The speed of sound is lower at a higher altitude hence the speeds that you are all quoting are far too high. (hence the times, and thus, also, the time saving will be considerably greater than your estimate).

I don't have the ISA data in front of me, so this is only a generalisation, but I have it at home, so If you're really interested I will "do the math"
