For what it's worth, I remember learning about 11 seconds as a "rule of thumb" for a high-bypass to spool up from idle to TOGA. Obviously, this will vary among engine types.

Of course, in a stabilized approach, it would almost never happen that engines reach idle, so throttle response would usually be a lot quicker.
