Can rhizomorphic growth still be a slow colonizer?

This is in reference to the post in the cultivation post Very Slow Going...
I grew out a single sector isolate of a B+ strain cubensis and agar-wedge inoculated rye grains. The details are in the previous post but the very rhizomorphic growing isolate took 72 days from spawn inoculation to flush which just seems odd to me and I was hoping to get a little feedback. I had thought that the reason rhizomorphic growth was favored was because of it's aggressive colonization traits.
Sorry for the cross-posting, just thought I'd refine the question and it's target audience... ucks:

It's pretty common. A single swipe of spores will generate dozens of single sector isolates, many of them rhizomorphic. It's important to grow out all of them to determine the best fruiters. Each will have it's own characteristics. RR
