The flux definitely does more to help the heat to flow from the tip of the iron- I've found that by keeping the tip tinned and painting on a fresh coat of flux to the blob on the back of the pot, I can liquify the whole thing in about two seconds with a 40-watt iron.
(I did not learn this through trail and error, but from getting Terry Down's DVD- he's on the TDPRI)
Since watching a master do it, I've gained more skill in two to three weeks than in all the years leading up to that point.
