I am writing a thesis using a template similar to this template. The main file (dissertation.tex) uses \include{} to include each chapter. I have a large chapter (over 60 pages with 70 images) that takes over thirty seconds to compile and view. I want to split this chapter into two files, chapter4part1 and chapter4part2, so that I can compile and view just the part I am working on.

I have tried using \includeonly{}, \input{} and the subfiles package but have not been able to compile and view quicker than the original. Is there a way to structure my files and commands to quickly compile and view just the file I am woking on?

Edit: clarified question to state I want to split one chapter into two files.
