The sun staying in place, then moving quickly after the eclipse is an optical illusion. This can happen when two spherical objects cross paths in the sky while going in opposite directions as observed from a point on another spherical object.
I agree it's an optical illusion, however your explanation doesn't make a lot of sense to me. I think people are hyper focused during the intersection, and less hyper focused before and after. The perception of time passing is what causes the perceived difference.
Also a good point.
