I was wondering if there would be a corresponding concept with exposure time/developing time of the printing process, similar to push/pull in film processing. Apart from exposure time and development affecting brightness in general, do they impact contrast or grain size on print?(This is not an accurate expression, but is there any difference in the behavior of image cells on the paper?)

I was just wondering if it is possible to use a stock solution for development. I can expect the development process will be much faster, but would it change any photographic quality such as contrast or grain size?
