I've been on Dvorak for ~ 3 years now. I kept a small log of typing tests for QWERTY and then for my dvorak adventure. Once performing the complete switch (which took about a month) there was no difference in typing errors or wpm ( I do about ~60). I've actually been able to switch inbetween QWERTY and Dvorak with relative ease, given about 5-10 mins to reacquaint myself with qwerty I get right back up to my old test scores. The main difference is qualitative for me, they feel very different while typing. QWERTY feels bunched up and tight, while Dvorak makes my hands feel more spread out.
