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???

What slowdown? Assuming it takes an average of 10 seconds to process an epub added to a Kobo, adding 8500 books is going to take 85,000 seconds or 23 hours. Adding 1 book is going to take 10 seconds.
Even if adding a book dropped to 5 seconds, you are still looking at ~11.8 hours for the 8500 books.
Perhaps you could give us the time required to add 1000 books to your Kindle? Inquiring minds are eager to know.
Also note that Kobo epubs synced from their server seems to take quite a bit less time to process compared to sideloaded epubs though I have only done ~50 ebooks going that route after a factory reset. I don't do that many factory resets so have never put a stopwatch on the process.
