I found exactly this! Very poor performance, i could hardly get the wheels locked which shows a lack of braking force, that was right at the start of the day so doubt it was the brake fluid boiling. It's my first porsche so thought it was because i wasnt shoving hard enough! I'm told that porsche don't overservo their brakes. i replaced with standard pads and found them much better on the road and far better when i tracked them a few weeks later, i could get the brakes to activate the ABS so there was enough braking force there. I used yellow stuff on my old MR2 and they were fine, perhaps the cayman is too heavy? I'll not use them again, may be fine pads but didn't work for me. I may try Brembo Sport pads next time (HP2000), supposed to be OEM approved but slightly better for fade and higher temps.
my pads looked like yours, worse if anything. Seemed to have crumbled?
