Yes, the Jet Provost Mk 3 had a similar problem. The idle-to-full power

For completely unrelated reasons, what appeared to me to be, and turned out to be, inaccurate historical information in
a novelistic memoir, I searched info about the earliest jet fighters.
In addition to initial reliability and longevity engine problems that limited their actual use, their very slow
acceleration and only moderately greater top speeds made them vulnerable to the latest piston engined, propeller driven
fighters.
