Can you quantify that a bit?

By "1000's upon 1000's" are you talking 2000? 5000? 10000? 30000? 100000? Me, I expect that it gets slower as books are added. The question is when it slows enough to be noticeable and gets too slow to be useful. When I was using the Glo HD as my primary device, it had reached about 5000 books. But, there is no way I would consider using the word "crawl" describe using it.

And I are you talking about your experience on your devices? The ones you list all have 256MB of RAM compared to the 512MB in the newer devices. The extra memory will help. And it is noticeable when I compare my Glo to the Glo HD.

And the firmware version? From memory, you were staying away from the recent versions and using somewhere around 3.12 or 3.14. Or maybe 3.19. If that is still the case, then there is a severe performance bug in collection management. Opening the collections list slows down as more collections are added, and it gets worse as the collections get bigger. Opening a collection from the list was quick, but returning to the collections list was as slow as getting there in the first place. This was largely fixed in firmware 4.6.9960. Opening the collections list is quick, but does slow down with a lot of collections or large collections. Opening a collection and returning to the list is now quick.
