Not just barefoot but all forms of running. It's simply more efficient.
Foot strike is merely a personal thing though. Some people benefit greatly from moving to a more midfoot strike. Others (I know a few pretty quick guys in my club) actually find running this way hinders their speed and ability to run with a fast cadence. Each to their own in this respect.
