Unfortunately, breaking a 10 gig repo into 5 repos often means you have to now download five 2 gig repos.

That can still be better, e.g. when part of the problem are tools that work on a per-repo level and fall over/get slow if the repo gets to large.

How do these tools work when it comes to working on multiple repos? I imagine they either don't, or that it's worse than working on a single monorepo of the same size.
