Second, for this data volume , it would be nice to use key, isn't it ?
You cannot use a variable for modulo but that accelerate processing

<xsl:key name="part" match="Entity" use="(position() - (position() mod 1000)) div 1000 
">
[...]
<xsl:for-each select="Entity[position()  mod 1000 = 0]">
      <arguments>
        <xsl:apply-templates select ="key('part',position() div 1000) ">      
</arguments>
    </xsl:for-each>

[...]

I can't test (and make always error with modulo and other...) but that's the 
scheme

I agree that using a key makes sense but as far as I understand it when you use position() in the "use" expression of an "xsl:key" element it should be always 1. I have however found XSLT processors that implement that differently.
