I find Maya much slower than SI workflow wise, but learning to correctly use it's UI, create your custom shelfs, and customize your preferences and/or hotkeys and menus a little is a must. Basic mel level is also recommended. Trying to use Maya the exact same way you use SI, like relying on hotkeys, may be one of the biggest problems. Maya's default hotkeys are a little difficult to reach (like F10, F11s), you need to use the hotbox and slide your mouse to have a fast workflow. Once you get it, it isn't that bad. Martin
