> Faster and more flexible submodules

I have a big, monolithic repository which I'm looking to break up in a migration to Git.

If I run;

    git submodule split -P <path_to_sm> -b <name_of_branch> --jobs=4
Will I see the same improvements, as documented?

Why?

Not the OP, but if it is big enough, common tasks such as 'git status' can take seconds to complete, which is annoying.

That said, I won't be using git submodules again on another project, it was a bit cumbersome for my taste.
