Yes, you'd probably have a much larger brake pad on dual piston caliper. That means you have more contact surface area. Less effort would be required on the brake lever to acheive the same amount of friction, but the disc will probably heat up faster because of the increased pad size and pinching force.
In an emergency situation in traffic, yes it will stop somewhat faster, but on a track with a lot of tight turns there may be little advantage.
Thats one of the advantages of dual rotors. Each side has to work half as hard as a single thus heats up less quickly, much less brake fade!
But remember, no matter what kind of brake you have on the front, you will still be limisted by the amount of grip of the front tire on the road, and even the little dual piston caliper 250r brake can easily lock the front wheel up if you squeeze it hard enough!
