Is the maximum roll rate of about 11°/s shown on the AF447 traces really so rapid?

In normal law (FCOM 1.27.20) the roll rate requested by the pilot is proportional to the side stick deflection, with a maximum of 15°/s when the sidestick is at its stop.

In direct law (FCOM 1.27.30) the maximum roll rate is approximately 20 to 25°/s, depending on speed and configuration. Spoilers 2, 3 and 6 are inhibited, except in case of some additional failures affecting the lateral control.
