Assuming physical chemistry reaction rate theory:

reaction rate = k*(concentration*(1+z)^m)^n

Where n is reaction order
and concentration of galactic precursor species
is related to redshift z by exponent m

Then knowing z~2.5 at 200 My
and assuming values m and n on the order of 1 to 3
then increased reaction rates(galaxy formations)
at this early age
by factors 2.5 to 50
could be conceptually explained.
