Cliff,
Hi. People are trying to improve things. I have no useful ideas except to 
say that probably the more critical consideration is the easy exit of warm 
cooling air. If it can't get out easily it can't get in to do the cooling 
in the first place.
Also, if it can't get in smoothly and expand/slow down gradually to recover 
the pressure (from the inlet velocity) that can block the inlet with 
turbulence. So, look for no sharp corners in the duct and nice smooth inlet 
lips.
