Grooved and drilled discs are to help expel brake dust more easily under heavy breaking so that it does not get stuck between pad and disc and impair braking. I don't think it makes much if any at all difference to cooling. If you have some oil and dirt on brakes it will start smoking at 200C-250c and that's nothing for brake discs. If you get the discs glowing in the dark 600C+ then you need to start worrying. Anyway you might want to check that calipers/pistons are not binding.
