Oh, the air accident investigator found a trend in similar incidents, in that the average time it took crews to advance throttles to 85% and maintain 5 deg nose up attitude (as per flight manual and training), from a flight computer error, was 15 seconds...some crews took up to 60 seconds.

It's not known if AF447 had carried out that task. It may never be known if they even thought to do it if they were inundated with other alerts.
