As I said in another post, I've been using Dvorak for about five years. I actually haven't tried using QWERTY in about two years... so let's see how I do. (switches)
Well... this feels a bit awkward (especially "awkward", ironically, which is mostly on one hand), but I can type mostly fine. I find punctuation to be the biggest problem, followed the fact that my left hand feels overworked (is that normal?). I can type at about half my normal pace, but it's getting better. In fact, after typing this paragraph, I think I'm most the way back to full speed.
All in all, I'd say that switching isn't a big issue, especially if you just need to key in a few small things. This is completely anecdotal, mind you.
