The guy shooting the drill in 5.9 sec with one ragged hole, is shooting too slow, he's not pushing himself or shooting outside his comfort zone. If he is that accurate in that time he can speed it up. You're comparison of time/ accuracy isn't valid the way you presented it.
The guy that shot the 4" group, that's still acceptable, its called combat shooting. Done in 1.5 sec, I'll take him over the other guy everyday of the week.
Time and accuracy is a very delicate balance than most novice shooters don't understand.
