They do flow better than stock filters.
They do not filter better than stock filters.
They can be cleaned and can last many more miles than a stock filter.
Your filters (air and oil) are perhaps the single most important aspect of engine longenvity. I personally do not recommend K&N air filters if you care about the longevity of your car.
If you're only going to have it for a few years, you can pretty much do whatever you want.

IIRC the filtering isn't that hawt, but the flow is hawt...

A better filter can boost HP by a bit because it does allow for better airflow. K&N filters supposedly can last a car's life time if you clean and recharge it with the kit ($10 kit) every year or something. I haven't had any problems with my K&N filter. I did get big gains in HP, but that was with a new intake system, not really sure how much the filter had to do with it.

do tell about these 'big HP gains'
AEM Intake on my 04' Hyundai Tiburon GT. Somewhere between 10-15 extra HP because the stock air system chokes the engine.

Measured how?
Not by what you read on the intarweb, but how you measured said gains on your car?
