floating rotors definitely help with heat build up, but the main reason for use is to reduce rolling resistance, the brake pads get knocked off the rotors slightly after an application of the brakes which allows the wheel to turn more freely, as well as allowing both the rotor and pad to cool more effectively.

I never heard of that explanation before, for sure one of the –‘s in the extra clearance created by floating discs knocking the pistons back is not good, makes for loose feed back at the brake lever.
