Anecdote: I typed ~95 WPM on Qwerty, hunt-and-peck* , and switched to Dvorak three or four years ago. Touch-typing Dvorak just feels natural to me, too. I haven't measured my speed in a while (over 60 WPM, who cares?), but Qwerty feels like a chaotic jumble by comparison. It's mostly a comfort/ergonomic issue for me.
It's a tricky thing to get hard data about, though, and the whole Qwerty vs. Dvorak thing somehow got caught in some religious argument about the free market, so there's probably too much noise to ever sort it out.
* Hey, I taught myself to type on a Commodore 64 as a kid.
