Brian,
It is a function of temperature. For some data look here

http://www.nyx.net/~dgreenw/whatisth...shipbetwe.html

There is still one value in the tabular data (c. milleri @ 16C) that is
incorrect: 0.011 should be 0.110

Different yeasts have different curves but temperature sensitivity of
growth rate is fairly consistent.
