This is with the thermostat closed, sir :P
He's saying less coolant flow would make warmup faster. Thermostat is closed, I know that. More coolant flow cools the engine off better = more heat transferred from engine to water = faster warmup. Anything wrong?

The parallels to computer cooling are completely valid, because they refer to tests done with nothing else in the loop. I guess I should've said, heat transfer is always better with faster flow.
