Thanks for your reply guys.
I actually met up with a 330 pilot and
had a discussion about this topic.

He had told me that airbus designed the spoilers to activate slowly for the comfort of the passengers. I think that is quite stupid especially landing on a wet runway you would want to spoil as much lift as possible and get the wheels firmly on the ground.

Obviously there hasnt been a problem so far.
