A split point on a twist drill makes penetration of the work easier, so the thrust load on the machine will be lower. But a plain uncoated, polished flute drill is generally recommended in aluminum, although almost any type of drill can be made to work. You'll want enough flute length so that the chips can come up the flute when the drill is getting deeper into the hole, so don't buy something too short. However, a pecking routine can/should be used to clear the drill when it gets into deep hole drilling. In your situation, it doesn't sound like you'll be able to take a proper chip, so the tendency of the drill to clog will be higher, because not much chip flow is coming up from the bottom.
First you get good, then you get fast. Then grouchiness sets in.
