That is a myth (or at least there is no good evidence of it).
Well, maybe.
Qwerty was designed to alleviate typebar jams, so it did slow some
typists down. However, I seem to recall that it alternates hands fairly
well which *also* contributes to fewer jams and makes typing speed *faster*.
Nobody has shown that dvorak is a clear winner, either.
