Mike, 
  With an extremely limited understanding of thermodynamics, is it not safe
to say that given mass with 2X surface area will cool more quickly than the
same mass with X surface area.  Isn't that why heat sinks increase area by
adding fins, ie. why vented rotors and shotgun barrels etc where brought
about, to aid in cooling regardless of air flow? (though agreed more is
better)? 
Mike
