The c/s rate reported while cracking is the effective rate at which
combinations of {username, candidate password} are tried (even if John
happens to avoid doing those comparisons directly). It increases along
with the number of loaded hashes per salt. Since raw MD5 is saltless,
you can expect an effective rate of up to 60M c/s with your 56 hashes on
your CPU, but in practice this is reduced by the processing cost of
generating candidate passwords and doing the comparisons (or rather,
hash table lookups). You're likely to get a rate somewhere closer to
60M c/s if you use "incremental" and not wordlist mode and you let it
run for a while, yet all of your hashes would remain uncracked (which is
unlikely). If the number of hashes reduces as some are getting cracked,
the effective c/s rate will reduce too.
BTW, this is very similar to your previous question about c/s rate with
salted hashes -
