Hot plugs have more thermal insulation and conduct heat away from the tip at a lower rate. This allows the plug to run hotter for a given engine load and this burns off carbon deposits. This is good for the fuel economy minded folks who hardly go beyond 10~15% engine load.
For the performance oriented crowd, it is a disaster. At high engine loads, the plug tip may overheat. Performance tuners will generally recommend "cold" plugs that conduct heat away from the spark gap more rapidly than "hot" plugs.
