Not really.

It just splits the sorted list into chunks.  So domains will group together
if they sort near each other.

Yes, because you are now delivering N chunks in parallel.

Outside of sorting?  Nope.  Because of the way Sendmail works, you'll be
immune from hackers using EXPN to obtain your member list, though.
