Now that on my kindle I put the 8 smaller pdf's, I can turn pages instantaneously and highlight text pretty much as fast as I can do that for proper ebooks, so leaving out separate pdf's for bigger documents is the way to go.
Interesting. Do you know if it is the joining technique or just the sheer size of the PDF that reduces performance? You used pdfsam to join the files? Could you try jpdftweak also? Or could you try an overnight conversion that does it all in one piece (though as I recall this segfaulted k2pfdopt--so maybe just half of it?) to see how that compares? What would be best would be an A-B comparison between something produced only with k2pdfopt vs. something put together with various joining tools.
