Also getting the heat out of the block as quickly as possible will keep excess heat from being stored in the metal of the block. I think faster flow with the right radiator and block designed for it should be better than a low flow settup.
my $0.02:shrug:
From the few tests I have read (one at Overclockers , the other at PCReports (Need to use a translater on this one, its in German), the best blocks all had 10mm OD (3/8 OD) tubing, with only the Eheim 1046 or 1048 pumps. Oh, and the blocks had large amounts of surface area (unlike the Maze-3).
