I have seen demos wherein the spool-up time was dramatically shortened, perhaps as much as 50%.

But whether this type of response is desirable is another issue. Pitch-up in a modern airliner (underwing engines) might be an unpleasant surprise.

Further, the peak turbine temperature presents a parts life / cost problem that few would welcome.
