It takes about eight minutes to get to orbit. Which is quick, but not super quick. Reasonable accelerations reach really high speeds when you just keep doing them for minutes at a time. For example, a fast race car might be able to pull off a similar acceleration, but only for a few seconds before it can't go any faster.
