What is "cooldown recovery speed" ?

The new gem Violent Dead states, " Attack has 50% increased cooldown recovery speed." What exactly does this mean? Poe wording makes my brain explode.

"Now all that's left is for you getting on your knees."

oh duh, cooldown of the actual slam ability.
yeah so u can use the skill faster so u don't have to wait as long

it means that some attack, cry or spell or whatever have a cooldown, a quantum of time that u must wait before use the skill again. Some items reduce this break and allow u tu use your skill after the first click waiting less time.
Note that it's a speed multiplier, not a time reduction. Using 100 as a base value (100% of base cooldown time), 50% increased cooldown recovery speed would be calculated as follows:
100 / (1 + (50/100)) = 100 / 1.5 = 66.67% of base cooldown time.
It means the cooldown of cooldown-gated skills gets lowered. A good amount of skills (including skills that minions use) have cooldowns to restrict their spammability; cooldown recovery speed lowers that cooldown. The cooldown with a given amount of recovery is:

Default cooldown * 100/(100 + cooldown recovery speed modifier).

Take zerker's Warbringer notable, for example: 100% increased cooldown recovery speed for warcries. Warcries have a 4 second cooldown, so the cooldown with warbringer (assuming no other cd modifiers) is 4 * 100/(100+100), or 2 seconds (part of what makes abyssal cry zerker so awesome).
