This is a tricky question.

Because of the relatively low flow rates we use, there's not much added flow restriction from the blasted surface.

On the cooling side though, you're looking at trapped molecules of water, but also an increased surface area (can increase by 50%, from perfectly flat, but that's theoretical, not practical).

I suspect it doesn't make much difference, if any. It sure looks nice though!
