I once got them to expedite an emergency bug fix, and my company was nowhere near a "large actor". But this was waaaay back in 2009 so I can't be sure they're still that willing to help small devs. The expedited review took 24 hours when the average was over ten days at that time.
Still, any review time is really sucks as a developer. Shipping a big release and having to wait 10+ days to get feedback really slowed us down and hurt my enthusiasm as a developer. Honestly, I'm glad iOS development isn't the main focus of my job anymore - the SDK and tooling is fantastic, but provisioning and App Store submission is awful.
