Hi.

“At this stage in its growth, Facebook was growing users at nearly triple the rate Twitter just reported growing them,” he said.“ [From The Guardian.]

Thank you.

Yes, it's a kind of jargon. Overall, this is a poorly worded sentence because of the repetition of the various forms of the word 'grow'. Clive
