Personally, I never think about using Quick Look for reading if it’s 
going to take more than 4 seconds. I’d rather see the correct icon if 
I happen to Quick Look a DMG than have the option to occasionally see 
the contents of an extension less file.

Not for text files, no. In fact, Quicksilver lets you specify what uses 
Quick Look to generate icons and I’ve always purposely excluded text, 
code, Pages/Word, etc.

For the curious:

~~~
defaults write com.blacktree.Quicksilver QSFilePreviewTypes -array 
public.image public.movie public.audio com.adobe.pdf 
public.x509-certificate net.daringfireball.markdown com.apple.ical.ics
~~~
