There are speed changes of about 70mph in less than 15 second documented, if that doesn't take the pilots attention away from other things i don't know what would.
Of course a pilot can manage to control this instability, but he has to work just to keep his ride in a controlled flight, add other factors as gusts, attacking 109's or else and the workload might become too large.
