It's not so much coding, and the speed at which I type my keys.

There are other things that make my work on a computer productive. The macros I have setup, my specialized launcher that'll do things based on keywords. The console that's perfectly setup with the tabs / shortcuts I want/need/know, and syncs with my launcher: "console c:\projects\ {enter}" -> does things much faster than a normal person's computer usage.

All these "little" things add up. And like one of the other posters mentioned. Less time having to "worry" about how to get to program X, or switch to task Y, is more time I can dedicate to the task at hand and the flow that accompanies it.
