Cross drilling is a factor in cooling in race applications to prevent fade
and also in the wet as it reduces the time the brake pad floats on the water
film as the water film is dispersed not only outward but also into the holes.
In race applications or on a motorcycle it is a big deal. On a street car
it is so-so and mostly for boy racer looks. Many modern street Ferraris and
Porsches did NOT have drilled or slotted rotors. It is often a waste of
money with poor results.
