Truth, typing quickly is crucial to getting thoughts out of your brain. Our brains think much faster than we type, so typing is our bottleneck. I am only at 60WPM (tops) and it really helps. It especially helps for the large majority of an engineering/programming job, which is not coding, but communicating.

Also helps writing code big time, but the big win is in communication, and as someone else mentioned during pair programming sessions.
