The one thing that I've found that speeds up the process the most is hand copying the files from the cards to a folder
on my primary image HD and then importing or syncing that folder in Lightroom. If you let Lightroom do the import from
the CF card to the destination folder there is substantial delay as there is far more back-and-forth communication
going on between the computer and the card than if you do a straight copy first.

My Fuji cameras start a new internal folder whenever the number of images reaches an even 1000. This sometimes causes
me to miss an image, which I have to search for. And it leaves two folders to be deleted. In these cases, I usually
do an in-camera format just to clean things up.
You guys honestly hand copy from the cards? I wouldn't rely on me to get that
right every time.
I know there are several programs that do the copying, and the keeping track, automagically. I happen to use PIE, free
version. In addition to it's very useful EXIF displays, it has a lovely download function.
I stick the card in a slot on the computer or the USB 3.0 reader, PIE pops up, I select which camera it's from, and PIE
copies the files to date named folders under the proper camera folder, with automatic sub-folders for video, whatever.
It then switches the archive bit in the card directory, so each time, it knows just which files are new.
I've been using it for years, and it's been perfect. Far better than I may be
on a bleary/tired/distracted day.
I then, often later, have LR sync catalog the new files.
Simple, reliable, free - what's not to like?
