In the "transient" case, where you're starting up, true, a high specific
heat will keep things cooler longer.
But, eventually, you'll reach equilibrium, at which point the specific heat
won't make any difference.  Heat in=heat out and temperature essentially
determines heat out (for constant airflow).
