Why MD5 signatures prevail?

Hello,

When I look at ClamAV's signatures, most of them are md5 signatures. Also, when I download older version of ClamAV like 0.90, to compare the signature database, number of md5 signatures have been grown dramatically. Is there any special reason for this? I guess one of the reasons will be that it is the most quickest way to update signatures. Am I thinking it correct? Any other reasons for the expanding md5 signatures?

Thank you in advance !
