Ilya has been working on localizing imports, which will help in
splitting up these modules.
I think if the imports can be localized, there's no need to split
the module, especially if it is template heavy like
std.algorithm, which is de-facto lazy and minimal anyway - they
are always imported, but the real work is only done upon being
used.
I *might* be wrong about the cost of parsing templates vs
instantiating, I've used several thousand line programs of plain
code but not that much template without pulling in all of Phobos,
which makes the speed hard to isolate.
But regardless, I still think we should do one thing at a time.
If the cleaned up import solves the speed+size problem, no need
to spend the time trying to split the module.
