I think we can type just as fast in any layout as long as we get used to it. If a person first learns speed typing in Sholes, he reaches x WPM. If he had first learnt speed typing in Dvorak, he'd reach y WPM. The difference twixt x and y is too small to consider either one 'better' than the other, IMHO. Dvorak does 'feel' better, though, and people who suffer from RSI using Sholes do say they can type more comfortably in Dvorak. It also might be worth considering that the world's fastest typer did it in Dvorak.
IOW, if you're already fast enough in Sholes and don't suffer RSI, Dvorak won't help you much.
