Ben, I doubt that it's the radiator that's responding poorly to the higher flow. Furthermore, I think that the results in a dual reservoir setup will be far worse than you'd initially think due to the mixing of coolant in such a setup. I still think that it's a pump efficiency issue... yes you've lost your "sweetspot" so to speak, but it lies in pump selection rather than your rad.
