In my experience it pays off to do a bit of typing practice every day for a few weeks. It noticably made me a bit faster and more accurate and it wasn't even remotely as hard and time-consuming as switching the layout. I think learning Dvorak etc. doesn't pay off at all and qwerty actually isn't as bad as people say(the real problems of mainstream keyboards are present in Dvorak etc. as well). Most people just don't consciously practice it regularly.
