Is it true that attackers can guess millions of passwords per second by cracking stolen password hashes offline, where account lockouts do not apply?

Unclear. Several sources confirm that attackers who obtain stolen password hashes can guess passwords offline, and one notes such guessing is unlimited, but none quantifies the rate at millions of passwords per second or addresses account lockouts.
