Renewed forests grow at something like five times the rate of old growth
The individual trees do, because they receive increased sunlight when there are no taller trees around them. The wood from these trees have much wider soft growth rings which makes them an easier target for boring beetles and pests. Most of them also grow back from plantings and therefore creates a forest of one type of tree only, more of a farm than a forest.

growing much faster than the rate they were being cut,
LOL, you mean we were in danger of being overrun by forests until Clinton saved us? You'd be a shoo-in at the jalapeno eating contest since you seem willing to swallow anything.
