However, in my case, I'm talking about raw speed, errors and all, and I can't always get 140; if I'm typing at a comfortable pace it's a lot closer to 100. However, I figured I'd hop into gtypist to just provide some documentary evidence that 140(raw) is not such an insane number:
I still practice typing on a regular basis. Mainly I'm focused on reducing my error rate right now.

that's awesome.
I do 60wpm with a reasonable level of accuracy.
Now that I've actually bothered to install gtypist, I might actually practice a little more often.
I just did some speed tests, and I found my major problems were with the hypenation of words at line-continuations, and end of sentences (double space after a '.' slows me down because I have to rethink).
I guess I can get used to it, but it feels weird writing such archaic text in a style that isn't the same as my normal typing.
How often do you get to practice that kind of speed outside gtypist?
My typing is generally slowed by needing to actually compose what I'm typing: does typing tutor practice improve this kind of speed too?
I know exactly what you mean. I think I optimise my vim usage more than my typing, but to the same end.
Next time you pop into the windows side of life, try out Typing of the Dead or if you're too lazy, PopCap's Typer Shark is good as well.
