That will abate over time as the algorithm kicks them further and further out. I have a deck of ~1700 cards and although I rarely rate something a '5', my cards that are furthest out in time are in the 500 - 520 day range.
As for the "cards per day" issue, I was getting overwhelmed early on too and found my "happy spot" was around 60 cards a day. To that end, I installed the following plugin: http://mnemosyne-proj.org/node/173. This allows me to see how many cards I'm going to see for the next few days, although I really only care about tomorrow's count. How I work it is this: If the # of cards I am scheduled to do today is over 60, I just do at least 60. For a while you'll be in this mode, just doing your daily quota of total. That's ok. When you start seeing fewer than your daily quota today, just work on today's scheduled plus whatever you'd forgotten until tomorrow's number hits 60. I understand this workflow won't work for everyone, but this worked well for me and allowed me a relatively static workload daily and eventually did whittle down the unknowns/forgotten. I'm routinely doing much fewer than 60 now, so I'll probably add another deck and start the process all over.
