I agree that improved cooling of the pump is only going to net a marginal gain. But in the case of the larger pumps like the MD20, Blueline/Panworld & Little Giant it may be worth doing for those try'n for the max possible in cooling.

And the cost of attaching some passive sinks to the pump housing of these larger pumps that can't be submerged would be quite small, and many of us have such sinks lay'n around anyway. Adding a fan blowing over the pump would be another step to take that costs little & would maximize the effect of the added sinks.

Watercooling of the pump would be cost prohibative, for the gains made as Bugsmaster points out.
