As far as system administration is concerned, touch typing fast doesn't help you too, too much...but it impresses people around you by far. With tab auto-completion in bash, you don't really need to type all that fast, anyways. Also, when I'm writing an essay ... I just can't possibly think as fast as I can type, the only scenario when I'm capable of typing my max typing speed is when I'm copying a paper verbatim. Coding/administrating/writing essays/research papers all are done at less than 120wpm. Copying is fast.
