Commuting with a Road Bike or a Hybrid: How much of a difference are we talking?

Some say Road bikes are the best commuting bikes while others say it depends on the distance.

How much of a difference in times, comfort, etc is there between commuting with a road bike vs a Hybrid?

Personally I think hybrids are too slow and heavy but road bikes are way too uncomfortable to ride over an hour straight but if a road bike shaves time off of a commute, then I would probably opt for a road bike. Nothing frustrates me more then spending longer then I have to on the road so for that decrease in time spent on the road I would probably opt for the roadster over the hybrid..

What are your thoughts?
Road bike or Hybrid for long/short commutes?
