How fast is fast in growth for SPS?

Also...one more question: When you put a new piece in your tank, is there like a "getting used to the new environment" period before any growth starts? I'd assume so...as they need to acclimate. About how long should that take? My assumption is that the new coral will take some time before it wants to grow, then the growth takes off "fast."

With some of my pieces it takes them a month to even establish a good base (I usually buy frags) then there is others that I get 0.5 - 0.7" a month out of them. My 1 birdnest and 1 acropora I got from Doug grow the fastest but my 3 monti caps put on some serious growth every week as well. Man I love these sticks... never though I would say that.
