I wont disagree with a coat of wax though.

Don't make me get the radom somewhat related formulas... E=MC^2.
or in this case, E=MV I think.
Stopping a car takes the same amount of energy regardless of pad compound. cF doesn't really matter. If you have good pads, you might be more tempted to use them in a more aggressive manner just as if you have more potential HP, you probably use more gas. That more aggressive use causes the energy released as heat to be more concentrated and at higher speed and thus hotter nastier "dust".
I am not actually disagreeing with Scott, all I am trying to say is that all pads/rotors dust/wear and that gets flung at the wheel at high speed. None of it is pretty or significantly easier to clean than other IMHO. If you want pads that don't dust, don't plan on stopping. I just find the thought of buying pads based on dust characteristics like buying porn based on the story/plot.
