My ghost pepper plants in the past had only put out a couple peppers, but this year they went nuts and made more fruit than I've ever seen
My experience with the real hot peppers is that they seem to take a lot longer to develop into producing plants unlike some peppers like jalapeno, Belgian hot wax, etc.
The first year I grew Ghost Peppers didn't see me picking many until damn near fall after being planted in the early spring. Same with the Trinidad Scorpion Butch T's. If they overwinter and come back in the spring, then they will start earlier, but last winter N.O. had several nights well below freezing and I lost all my pepper plants. It's only been the last 6 weeks or so that my habanero peppers have been coming in pretty strong. I'm picking about 50+ a week now with no end in sight.

I'm further north so I can't overwinter peppers unless I transplant them inside, but yeah, I share your experience on the hotter ones taking longer to produce. I planted the ghost pepper plant in late April, and didn't get to pick them until a couple weeks ago. My habaneros typically come in late August and go strong until the first frost gets them. My banana, Tabasco, and thai peppers all start coming in mid summer.
I tried calabrese peppers for the first time this year, and they did okay. They too took a long time to mature. They also stayed green for a long time, then went from red to rotten very quickly. They tasted delicious. I think I ate more in the garden than made it inside.
