I'm gonna say basically the same thing as the other guy.
First, check for any duplicates. A good program for this is Pixels (by ByteSurge), or DupDetector.
Then, make a couple of general folders (3D, Photo, Handdrawn etc), then a bunch of subfolders in each (People, Animals, Landscapes), then more and more until it's down to only around 100ish images folder.
For the actual sorting process, get Pixort. It goes through a folder of images, and you just have to hit a number on your numpad to tell it which folder to sort each one. If you dedicated a weekend to this, you could probably get through all 9k this way.
As for tagging, I find that it's largely useless. It takes way more time than just sorting into categories, and is pretty difficult to search too. Even worse, there are very few programs that can tag an image, and most of those do it with their own db files - so if you upload a pic, it won't carry the tag info. Shit sucks.
