Hmmm,
well in years gone past, with older turbojet designs (IE: not turbofans) such as the JT4A, used on heavier models of the 707, you could count on 12 seconds minimum, from idle to rated thrust.

Get low and slow on final...prepare to find brown stains on the seat after landing.

A wakeup call, to be sure.
