A mechanical pump is dependent on rpm for coolant flow. So, low RPM operation would mean lower water flow than at cruise. Thus, more flow at low RPM, as when driving around town, would seem to be beneficial.
If I was having a problem with low speed cooling I would add a Stewart Components electric booster pump and keep the mechanical pump.
