You have deliberately prolonged the agony by adding '-n 1' to xargs - that means xargs will fork 'echo' once per filename.

Try this:

xargs -0 printf "%s\n" <listadeficheros | wc -l

or even better:

$ tr '\0' '\n' < listadeficheros | wc -l

Yup, much better.

Isn't it cool to have so many choices? ;-)
