+2 - I've been doing this for a while now. It saves time, saves weight and it's much easier than lugging shoes, pants and a shirt everywhere. Then you could just stick your lunch in a bag that's in your slipstream - no aerodynamic penalty. It's already been mentioned in this thread, but lighter wheels and better aerodynamics will make the biggest difference to your average speed. Wearing close-fitting clothing will help - a puffed out windbreaker is a bad idea.
