I don't think the breaker has enough heat capacity to stay cold for that long.

It makes a huge difference. It's not about staying cold as much as it is about not going into a match with it at an elevated temperature.

We've had far more issues with main breakers prior to cooling them religiously between elims matches. There are other things you can do too, like cooling down the piston area of your compressor post match and after you've charged your tanks before the next match and cooling your motors. Everything will operate more efficiently when it is at a lower temperature.
