How much heat is produced in rapid and spontaneous combustion?

That depends on the type of reaction occurring. Things don't just burn slowly or quickly, they burn at different rates depending on the material and the condition of the material. For example, if you burn a thin, unfolded piece of paper, it will burn relatively quick. If you burn a thick, crumpled up piece of construction paper, it will burn relatively slow. Additionally, an unfolded piece of paper will burn faster than a crumpled up piece of the same paper, but they will give off the same amount of heat. Think of it like having gas in a car. If you put a gallon of gas in a Ferrari and a gallon of gas in a Toyota Prius, drive them until they run out of gas and then ask which one used more gas, the answer will be neither. They both used the same amount of gas. The Ferrari will have burnt all of its up quickly and violently and the Prius will have made it last much longer, but the amount of gas used by each car is the same.
