no I don't think so...
but 747s are quite heavy aircrafts. They need a LOT engine thrust to climb quickly. and thrust is fuel... so they give
enough power to climb to reach their crusing altitude, but when they fly about 10 hours, it's ok to climb slowly to save fuel.

- The runway you took off
- The fuel you forgot at the airport
