Hello Kevin,
Separating the Progress extents only improves performance if you put the newly created extents on separate I/O subsystems. If you break them up but leave them on the same I/O device you will not see any improvement. The split extent is the primary progress mechanism for dealing with installations with hundreds or even thousands of users. It just doesn't do much if there is not the underlying hardware to support it.
Regards,
Michael
