Speed of growth

Just how fast do Hawthorn leafs grow in the spring?

I mean earlier in the week I saw them just break out into little green shoots and today when I looked they were much much bigger, where does all that energy come from to do all that growing?

The sun is not that bright and as the leafs are still growing I don't suppose that they can be doing a lot of photosynthesis.

So this is one of those things that I don't know the answer to and so far my researches on Google and the like have not answered this question either.
