I'd say there is no common pace. Differences between (future) programmers are 
huge. Also faster pace at a given period does not mean higher quality or 
competence eventually, and lower pace at a given period does not mean lower 
quality or competence eventually.

(This applies to any complex or creative domain.)

(I'd also say: do as you feel it; listen to, be confident in, follow your 
intuition; who alse can know what's good [pace] for you.)
