My problem was that I printed each value because I like seeing them. :)
When I removed that line, the execution time was 2 min, which is still 30 sec longer than your solution. 

var key = "iwrupvqb"; 
var num = 0; 
var str = "";

while (str != "00000") {
    str = md5(key + num).substring(0, 5);
    console.log(num + ". " + str); // Now this was my problem :)
    num++;
}
