I made some roughly calculations (but I admit, I didn't deduce course 
schedule from canon).
Let's assume that one school week has 30 h of lessons. If we assume 
worst case scenario then Hermione's every lesson had conflicting 
schedule (I mean by that _every_ lesson required use of Time Turner). So 
Hermione's week is longer by 30 h (basically her week had 8 days). In 
school year there are about 42 weeks.
42x30h=1260 h
1260h/24h=52,5 days
So excessive use of TT by Hermione added her (in worst case) ca. 52 days 
to her year.
I would say, therefore, that any growth difference related to TT is 
negligible. (I would even argue that stress related to all those lessons 
had negative impact on her health and "development").
