Theoretically, it's far faster than romaji input, because it needs fewer
keystrokes.....

I did once work with an elderly gentleman who had trained as a
typesetter on one of those huge machines that used to be used by
newspaper publishers. He could touch-type Japanese very fast,
accurately, and smugly in kana--far faster than any of the younger
people could input in romaji. But he himself said it was an
old-fashioned skill.

They laughed at me in the office when I switched the
teach-yourself-typing program to kana, just to see what it'd be like.
