Actually split times do matter but maybe not the way you think. You don't want "jailbait split times". Think 0.19s or faster. The reason is you can't process what's happening that quickly so you may launch rounds you don't want to.
It's not just being able to articulate an imminent threat every time you pull the trigger, although that is important. I heard a story of one LE at close range intended to shoot a Mozambique at a threat. He was so fast that he missed the head shot because the suspect fell after the two body shots. He would have made the head shot if the suspect was still standing but couldn't adjust that quickly to a dynamically changing target.
