Here is the thing...While growth and breeding seems slow in the beginning...RCS breed at a very rapid rate...Especially using the condition suggested...This can lead to severe water quality issues if you are not able to move the shrimp as fast as you think you can...Which can lead to total failure... While I don't think the food is going to make them grow any faster...I do think quite frankly you are not going to want them to. The key to keeping shrimp is patience and water quality.
Freshwater shrimp growth rate?

based on this I would think you could easily have them from 1/2" to 1" in a month.

I keep the shrimp I bought from msjinkzd at 76 degrees in a 10g tank, change water 3 times a week (2 gallons each time) and feed a varied diet like recommended. I'd say I've been rather successful because I started with 15 shrimp 2 months ago and I currently have over 75 shrimplets running around, with several females berried. It's not a brag because it's no unique feat: at the suggested conditions, red cherries will thrive and will breed prolifically. No need to buy specific foods that advertise increased growth. Just my experience so far.
Since you've already fixed your filter, just keep doing what you're doing and in no time your tank will be brimming with shrimpies
