Fluted Stainless Barrels

I was asked the other day what that was on my Wilson AR barrel for a recent AR build. What the individual was referring to was the "fluted" barrel.

The only two benefits that I could come up with are reduction in weight and faster cooling of the barrel. Are there any other benefits to fluting the barrel other than the two benefits that I mentioned ? I know I've seen fluted barrels on SPR type rifles, specifically some of the G.A. Precision barrels which I believe are Oberrmeyer, or Lalja barrels.
