I've used them in the past to audit a domain's passwords for strength etc (upon request of course) and it used to take hours to get 90%. Using rainbow tables it'd take minutes to get a large percentage and less than a night to get 95% of the normal user accounts. Rainbow tables aren't perfect though and there's a few admin and service password it doesn't get even if left over the weekend. Graycat/.
