And remaining in the chiller for longer results in lowered efficiency, as delta T drops as more time is spent in chiller. Now, that said, if one imagines a loop with no heat source, and only a chiller block, slow flow through the chiller will deliver really cold water faster to the cpu block (assuming it is right after the chiller) than high flow, but high flow will chill ALL the water faster. At least, i think so.

The chiller is not a rad. Its an active heatpump. If you leave water in it longer, it will chill that water cooler and then reduce its temp as well. In theory at least, since TEC performance doesn't vary vastly over the narrow range of temps we're considering, the deltaT is the same no matter the flow (within reasonable flows that is).
