The only time I did a big import was when I added all the titles (1 format) from the Baen CD's. Even that was done 1 CD at a time.
44K is a LOT of metadata to fix (and identify) if the books don't already contain excellent metadata (and covers)
20% implies 8K books were successfully imported before the OP deleted the attempt .
Breaking that 44K up into 5K chunks would probably get to the end quickest.
If the OP has a full backup of the source books, they could setup and use the AutoAdd folder. Moving a bunch of books to that folder, then move some more when the folder becomes empty

e only tried adding 1000 books the second time. And it seemed to me that maybe he was making a separate folder and using auto add, although I don't know this.
