Deja Vu . . .
Water has a very high specific heat, 4.18 J/g, IIRC. Couple this with the effects of the radiator and its going to take a long time for the temperature to finally peak. On top of that, we are only talking about a difference of a few C before the radiator's passive cooling ability equalizes the pumps emission- which is less then the margin of error on typical probes. With that in mind I wouldn't draw any conclusions based on indivdual's tests.

All i had was like 1°C more heat. So long for the "really hot"...

My entire setup (50w Duron, 15w GeForce, 30w pump) only heats the coolant about 3C above ambient temps under full load. 33% is nothing to laugh at.
