I suppose that means if someone managed to get their hands on a database with MD5 hashed password and we disregard the time it takes to query the harddrive for a match; it could (stupidly) brute-force it's way to any 5 character password consisting of a-Z, 0-9 and !"#€%&/()=?+ in about 0.06 seconds. Or a 6 character password just under a minute.
That's pretty impressive.
