The reason is again as I have already said: the Kindle processes one/a few books, adds them, and repeats. It might also help that I believe metadata is easier to extract from the mobipocket database wrapper than by unpacking an EPUB to get at the OPF. Either way, why does the Kobo slow down the more books you queue and the Kindle doesn't???
Every Reader that has to process eBooks added to the device will take longer to process the more you add. If you add 200 eBooks, it will take a lot less time than adding 8500 eBooks.

Kobo doesn't slow down. It just takes longer because there are more eBooks to process. Kindles have been known to be slow while processing. So adding 8500 eBooks to a Kindle could very well slow it down. And there is no way a Kindle will not take a long time to process 8500 eBooks.
