See the following:

Because bitcoin rose to $8000, miners switched to mining it. So bitcoin now has 8.3 blocks an hour while BCH has 3.67 blocks an hour.

On Friday bitcoin will retarget it's difficulty and things will go back to normal.

There is no mempool on BCH, so everything outstanding is cleared when a block is found.
