R help - Oct 2013 - Growth calculation

Hi,
       This is not a sophisticated statistics question as the subject 
suggests. But I am logging data - number of user sessions in a web 
application - before and after new users are migrated. I use R to graph 
but I am looking for a way to quantify the growth in the number of user 
sessions. As more users are now using the web application there is a 
growth.

What is the way to measure this growth if I have time and number of 
sessions in a two data sets - before the growth and after the growth ?

Thanks,
Mohan

I'd suggest searching for "absolute growth rate" and
"relative growth rate"
and choosing the metric most suited to your question of interest.
