copies). BTW, 1 MB may not be that large of a file by today's standards, but relatively speaking it is huge for /etc/hosts. A far more common problem that I see is extremely large /etc/passwds (another file that is linearly searched many times).
Far more common i see is an extremely large /var/spool/mqueue dir on very slow (ext2) filesystem. Consider splitting it into several queues, and move old messages into slower queues.
I have 10 /var/spool/mqueue/q[0-9] dirs. Using re-mqueue.pl, messages older than 1 hour get moved to a 1hr queue, older than 6hrs to a 6hr queue, older than 1 day to a 1d queue. 1hr queue runs every 15 minutes, 6hr once per hour, 1d once every 2 hours.
