Interesting discussion. The observation that there might be a difference in thermal inertia between processing solutions warrents more discussion... Unfortunately it will not be taken up by myself. Curiously, if money is not a problem, diamond would be about the best barrier for liquids you were trying to bring to the same temperature quickly... gold or silver would also be quick heat transfer-ers... unfortunately, money is a real "barrier" here when it comes to using one of these methods!
