As Bob said, it depends where at in Dallas -- but I think your new commute would be comparable to your old one. I leave for work at 5:30 a.m., and use many of the same roads you'd be using and they are pretty empty at that time. Mapquest's time and actual time should more or less match up. A word of caution though, on those days I leave around 7 a.m., my commute time is easily doubled.
Coming home will of course be trickier, but if you're already used to an hour and thirty minutes, it shouldn't be much different. Note: heading west on the Dallas Highway early evening is BAD. You should learn the backoads in this area. For obvious reasons, I won't reveal my routes but taking the time to learn some will save you a lot of headache in the long run. The obvious roads out here are terribly congested, but we have many good undiscovered ones.
