I have a hard time believing that someone can lift their right foot off the accelerator, move it over to the brake pedal, and then press the brake, faster than someone can lift-right-foot-press-left-foot. Not really reaction time but the time involved getting one foot from point A to point B.
But I could be wrong. I would be very interested to see any data one way or the other. Not that I'm going to change my habits after all these years, but I'd like to know.

Using one foot has nothing to do with speed. It just prevents you from accidentally riding the brake when you're not braking or riding the gas when you're braking.
