Question about attack times

hi everyone,

In various books ive read I see phrases like "use a fast to medium attack and slow release" etc etc.

my question is simply, what sort of speed is a fast, medium and slow attack / release time?

im guessing at .5 - 16ms is fast, 100 ms medium and 250 upwards slow?
im only taliking general terms here as I know all compression is subjective.

sorry if this seems like a fairly dumb question but its bugging me!

thanks a lot,

Remo.
