Will a room heat quicker with a fan blowing on a hot surface? Why?

I got into an argument with someone who thinks that blowing air across a fireplace will make the room heat more slowly, but based upon the principles computer heat sinks use to get heat away the room would get warmer quicker because you're getting the heat away from the area faster. Which way is true for heating up the room with the fireplace in it along with the rest of the house?
