Could be so many things -- soil, water, amount of sunlight, etc. DB is one of my slowest, though steadiest growers (i.e., keeps growing slowly through winter, where others nearly stop). Also, in my cool climate, small TC plants are really slow growers compared to pups, and they take an extra year to really get growing. But that isn't the case in warmer climates, from what I understand.
