There really is no good way to answer that question. Growth rates depend on several factors such as temperature, food availability, etc. There are species that take longer though.

Yes some species are growing faster than the others.Usually the smallest species reach adulthood before the big ones.

 
I kept my group of creos at about 75-80 degrees and room temp at night, and they reached adulthood in about 3 months

 
I would say oxyopsis gracilis are up there in the grow really fast really well but they are a one inch sized species,my babies reached adult in around 2 months or so from the heat in my room and food I'm guessing

 
I just got into the tiny E.P boxers as well and its very true with them as well,They seem to grow on a weekly basis and are forever gorging on flies^

I'm not keeping mine communally they are in individual small meshed large condiment cups for time being until they have another molt. This is E.P at L3 just so you can see how little space they take up lol I'd ask Precarious because he has had them and would know more,this is my first time,and I don't keep anything communally just to be extra cautious

Wow they really are tiny lol and you said they grow fast right?
 
They definitely grow fast I have an L4 already and i got them 2 weeks ago if that I believe,mind you my room is very warm and they are very good eaters which helps,but I can't see them not growing like this as they are not a 3 inch adult lol so does't take them very long at all. Online it says you could keep communally in a large space mind you you accept the hazard of some being eaten anyway I just keep them separate so I know who's molted and who has eaten and don't lose any only got 6 but they don't even seem to mismolt so far which is a plus

 
There are lots of other small species out there it wouldn't have to be this species of boxer there are other boxer species and tiny flower like species and then some that are the standard triangle headed types just on smaller level^
