Narrative:

Single engine taxi; load data was late. Captain began starting sequence for right engine. Approximate 10 KT tailwind. Start progress was normal. Egt rise was normal for this type engine; but after about 400 degrees started rising rapidly. I called out temps. Captain called abort! I immediately shut the fuel lever off. Egt rose to approximately 580. Whole process was no more than 2-3 seconds. We returned to the gate.we were experiencing task saturation. Frustrated with not getting load data and repeated calls for this information going unanswered. Task split; captain doing part of the start; with the first officer doing the other. [We were] lured into the egt normally not exceeding the limit; with an unusually rapid rise.
