A short T/Off sounds like an empty Posn Flight
Could well be. Having watched numerous heavy 747's from a similar end-of-runway position taking off at AMS, they seem to use a pretty significant amount of the 3600m+ runways there, whereas this thing went off like a rocket!

Had a similar experience in the 734 I was pax-ing in. Only about 30 or so on board, take-off run & climb performace felt a bit like being in a fast jet compared to usual, quite impressive!
