FWIW in the simulator I've practiced getting the 747 off the ground in much less than the normal ground roll. At about 270 tonnes, I rotated at ~90kts, pull it off the ground and held ~110kts. The stick shaker was rattling away madly, as there was airframe buffeting, but the plane flew.
The ground roll was perhaps 1,100', no more.
