我认为下面的建议是最快的。为了能够使用数组，我牺牲了源Enumerable的惰性。复制和提前知道每个子列表的长度。

public static IEnumerable<T[]> Chunk<T>(this IEnumerable<T> items, int size)
{
    T[] array = items as T[] ?? items.ToArray();
    for (int i = 0; i < array.Length; i+=size)
    {
        T[] chunk = new T[Math.Min(size, array.Length - i)];
        Array.Copy(array, i, chunk, 0, chunk.Length);
        yield return chunk;
    }
}

我将主要答案设置为IOC容器，以确定在哪里进行分割。(在阅读这篇文章的同时寻找答案，谁真的只想在3个项目上进行拆分?)

这种方法允许人们根据需要对任何类型的项目进行拆分。

public static List<List<T>> SplitOn<T>(List<T> main, Func<T, bool> splitOn)
{
    int groupIndex = 0;

    return main.Select( item => new 
                             { 
                               Group = (splitOn.Invoke(item) ? ++groupIndex : groupIndex), 
                               Value = item 
                             })
                .GroupBy( it2 => it2.Group)
                .Select(x => x.Select(v => v.Value).ToList())
                .ToList();
}

所以OP的代码是

var it = new List<string>()
                       { "a", "g", "e", "w", "p", "s", "q", "f", "x", "y", "i", "m", "c" };

int index = 0; 
var result = SplitOn(it, (itm) => (index++ % 3) == 0 );

另一种方法是使用Rx Buffer操作符

//using System.Linq;
//using System.Reactive.Linq;
//using System.Reactive.Threading.Tasks;

var observableBatches = anAnumerable.ToObservable().Buffer(size);

var batches = aList.ToObservable().Buffer(size).ToList().ToTask().GetAwaiter().GetResult();

我们发现David B的解决方案效果最好。但我们把它改成了一个更普遍的解决方案:

list.GroupBy(item => item.SomeProperty) 
   .Select(group => new List<T>(group)) 
   .ToArray();

几年前我写了一个集群扩展方法。工作得很好，是这里最快的实现。: P

/// <summary>
/// Clumps items into same size lots.
/// </summary>
/// <typeparam name="T"></typeparam>
/// <param name="source">The source list of items.</param>
/// <param name="size">The maximum size of the clumps to make.</param>
/// <returns>A list of list of items, where each list of items is no bigger than the size given.</returns>
public static IEnumerable<IEnumerable<T>> Clump<T>(this IEnumerable<T> source, int size)
{
    if (source == null)
        throw new ArgumentNullException("source");
    if (size < 1)
        throw new ArgumentOutOfRangeException("size", "size must be greater than 0");

    return ClumpIterator<T>(source, size);
}

private static IEnumerable<IEnumerable<T>> ClumpIterator<T>(IEnumerable<T> source, int size)
{
    Debug.Assert(source != null, "source is null.");

    T[] items = new T[size];
    int count = 0;
    foreach (var item in source)
    {
        items[count] = item;
        count++;

        if (count == size)
        {
            yield return items;
            items = new T[size];
            count = 0;
        }
    }
    if (count > 0)
    {
        if (count == size)
            yield return items;
        else
        {
            T[] tempItems = new T[count];
            Array.Copy(items, tempItems, count);
            yield return tempItems;
        }
    }
}

山姆·萨弗伦的做法是如此的做作。

public static IEnumerable<IEnumerable<T>> Batch<T>(this IEnumerable<T> source, int size)
{
    if (source == null) throw new ArgumentNullException(nameof(source));
    if (size <= 0) throw new ArgumentOutOfRangeException(nameof(size), "Size must be greater than zero.");

    return BatchImpl(source, size).TakeWhile(x => x.Any());
}

static IEnumerable<IEnumerable<T>> BatchImpl<T>(this IEnumerable<T> source, int size)
{
    var values = new List<T>();
    var group = 1;
    var disposed = false;
    var e = source.GetEnumerator();

    try
    {
        while (!disposed)
        {
            yield return GetBatch(e, values, group, size, () => { e.Dispose(); disposed = true; });
            group++;
        }
    }
    finally
    {
        if (!disposed)
            e.Dispose();
    }
}

static IEnumerable<T> GetBatch<T>(IEnumerator<T> e, List<T> values, int group, int size, Action dispose)
{
    var min = (group - 1) * size + 1;
    var max = group * size;
    var hasValue = false;

    while (values.Count < min && e.MoveNext())
    {
        values.Add(e.Current);
    }

    for (var i = min; i <= max; i++)
    {
        if (i <= values.Count)
        {
            hasValue = true;
        }
        else if (hasValue = e.MoveNext())
        {
            values.Add(e.Current);
        }
        else
        {
            dispose();
        }

        if (hasValue)
            yield return values[i - 1];
        else
            yield break;
    }
}

}
