For me the switch was to force me to break my bad typing habits and learn to touch type.
Without that it took me like two weeks of it actually being painful where I was closing my eyes and mentally moving each finger deliberately. After about 6 weeks I got to 30 WPM which I felt was sufficiently fast to work as a developer unimpeded. 2 years later I'm up to 60 WPM which is faster than I ever was with QWERTY. What I do is three 120 second long sessions of www.MonkeyType.com at lunch each work day.
