Oh, and I haven't timed it but I have my coolant enter the top and travel down the IC. Seems to be noticeably quicker this way, but again, no data.

My cooler is rigged to run top-down. You must "stir" the chiller around your kettle frequently as mentioned to keep the the hot wort in contact with the coils.

As an experiment, let the chiller sit untill the drain water feels cooler, then give your chiller a stir. The drain water will immediately get warmer.

My water is set at half-flow. I'm more worried about the IC connections coming loose than I am getting my wort cooled to pitch temps 20 second quicker. Pez.
