With a large number of photos like that, I'd break them down into sets by shooting time first. Far as I'm concerned, no one can really edit 7000 images as one body together.
What I do for editing large sets is set up a Slide Show for about a two-three second viewing time. The Slide Show module, once started, can be paused with the space bar; the flag and star rating keys (P, X, 1-5) are all active as a slide show runs. Easy to have it auto-flow the images past you and just hit a rating or a flag, and it manages the preview to screen for you.
