It's a pain. Any advice?
AFAIK Calibre updates the metadata.calibre ONCE per batch.
If you 1-sies your send, then it does this after each book.
Tame your anti-virus (exclude the Kindles drive on the PC).
you might need to Tame your Kindle (tablet) too.

I send, only a few books (novels..not manga) at a time. (I can only read so fast ) A USB transfer takes about 2 minutes to do a half-dozen books and be ready to eject on my K4NT.
Consider Calibre Companion (Wireless Device mode) it may be faster.
You are also limited by how slow your SD card is (lots slower than a HD).
