My experience tells me the quicker the user grasps information the better it becomes for the to relate or interact with your website or web application.
Icons used without text consume time and effort. The facade of "pretty" icons would eventually wear off if the navigation is poor. Icons usually supported by existing or rollover text might act as a mode to beautifying the design, but the user experience would remain unchanged.
