Is Blue Origin slow, or is SpaceX really, really fast?

Yes and yes. I expect Blue Origin are playing catch up with star ship. New Glenn could only self land the booster, not the upper stage. There's no way that could compete with star ship, it almost doesn't compete with falcon heavy.
Blue Origin is slow, but doesn't stand out when compared to Old Space. SLS, for instance, is also taking a very long time.

SpaceX is really, really fast.
