A320 series, particularly the IAE series can take a long time to spool up to a usable operating range. They often don't spool evenly and you have to wait until they are matched somewhat. Then there is the fact that if the aircraft is heavy it is not going to accelerate like a Lear Jet. The 321 is a runway pig.
