Typing is definitely the bottleneck for me in some situations, especially when I'm prototyping something, and I can hit 100 wpm without too much difficulty. As for giving it a several day test drive, I don't think that's going to help at all. The point is that once you know dvorak it is faster than qwerty. It would probably take a least of month of dvorak to be able to make a reasonable evaluation.
