I have typed Dvorak for the past ten years, and my advice: Don't bother.

It is slightly more comfortable to type. And if you control your typing environments, it's better to stay with Dvorak than to switch back to Qwerty. But the cost of learning is still greater than the amount of comfort you would get.

And your typing speed will NOT increase with Dvorak. Typing speed is mostly due to alternating hands when you type; Qwerty is perfectly fine for that use case.
