It's not going to flow any faster...volume will be better though and less
chance of cavitation. The radiators efficiency is also influenced via the
shroud, fan, fan clutch, and bugs (build up on the core causing poor heat
transfer).
The coolant flow is primarily controlled via the t'stat anyway.

Mostly true, but it would bring the max and min temps of the water
in the system closer together, which means cooler engine water and
warmer radiator water. The warmer rad water would also give off
heat faster.
