slow germination rate?

Maybe a silly question but if a seed is germinating slowly will it also be a slow grower? I recently germinated some seeds. Most of them germinated just fine and were ready to be planted in 4 days. However one seed cracked on the 3rd day and slowly peaked out the 4th day while I planted the others. Will the germination speed be indicative to how the plant grows or even if it grows. My concern is it might be a dud. I did plant it with the tap root slightly peaking out and will monitor to see how long and if it pops out.

Not in my experience, many times the "runt" will end up being the biggest plant.
