I've been able to reach arround 30 billion MD5 hashes per second using the 6 SPU cores on the PS3...I'm trying to make it even better still..

What's your practical application? Cracking apache htpasswd files?

30B MD5 hashes per second over 6 cores means 5B hashes per second per core. I suppose I could believe that the PS3 could do 5B CPU instructions per second per core, but I don't buy that it can do 5B MD5 hashes (even simple ones) per second. I doubt even the memory bandwidth is sufficient for that amount of computation.
Did you mean million?
