From all of my experiences and everything every faculty member and career panel has ever told me (about research university positions in mathematics and computer science), teaching does not matter at all. Hiring boards don't look at your teaching statement even though they require one. Nobody reads a letter of recommendation if it is about teaching. Nobody reads your course evaluations. And in particular, the more you neglect teaching (and the more time you spend on research) the easier it will be to get tenure.
As sad as it sounds, that's how my field is. So is this report specific to other fields?
