How tangible or detectable that performance gain really is will depend greatly on the scope of your project. This means each project should have its own workset structure based on its own conditions.

When we have architecture and structure in separate Revit models we end up with somewhat clumsy graphics in wall sections. This is more pronounced if the structural slab is in the structure model only. It's a little easier to manage than reveals. Managing all the reveals could be a coordination nightmare.

Dont define materials in families, define material parameters instead (or possibly sub-categories) as much as possible so materials can be assigned in a project, where they really matter. Dont include parameters in families that dont change geometry, instead put them in project templates and apply them to the categories they affect.

It was tied to the project units and you had to alter a dimension style to not use the project units settings in order to use it.
