Too slow... any workaround?

I'm working on a model cosist of several hundreds of features(?steps?).
anyway, it has become tooooooooo slow,
If I want to split a part, it would take like 10 minutes to complete.
Even if I derive this model from a new document, it still takes 10 minutes..
Is there any solution to this problem?
Thanks in advance.

PartStudios need to read from the top of the tree to the bottom in sequential order.
So if you make any change, the tree needs to be read again from that point to calculate a result.
PartStudio Tabs can be run in parallel (i believe) that means if you have 10 part studios it is like having 10 computers, each reading the feature tree of only their tab.
But if you have everything jammed into 1 tab, then you will have to wait for a single computer to read the entire tree.
I think of it like a book.
If one author wrote a book with only 1 chapter. Then they wanted to remove page 98. They would need to go through all of the pages after that point and make sure the story still makes sense. This would take forever each time they change anything in the book.
Instead, if you divide the book into chapters, rip out that page from page 98, then hand the book off to 20 people, and tell each one to read a single chapter and check if they are referencing anything that happened on that deleted page. It would only take a few minutes.
It is easy in Onshape to write an entire design (book) in one partstudio. That is a rabbit hole that is easy to fall into.
We should be trying to break down a model into smaller groups of adjacent parts (chapters), so we can take advantage of parallel processing to read the entire model in seconds, rather than minutes.
