I think at this point I'm faster in Colemak than I ever was in QWERTY, but speed doesn't matter anywhere near as much as comfort and I also don't think I've ever really "thought" more than 30-50 wpm in real world practice anyway. Typing test scores are useless rote repetition exercises and don't reflect real world typing anyway. I've almost never encountered the need to just retype out everything I'm reading that someone else wrote outside of typing tests. (Though admittedly in the typewriter era that was a more useful skill, before digital files and copy-and-paste.)
