I remember to have had a "/etc/mailcap" of more than 200KB once making lynx take quite some minutes to start up! :-( Just reinstall the mime-support package to get a reasonably sized "/etc/mailcap" or buy yourself a reasonably fast PentiumPro and you are done. ;-)
As someone else has already pointed out before it looks like a bug in the install-mime routine or one of the packages taking advantage of it has gone nuts!? I don't know how to trace it down other than deinstalling all packages using the install-mime routine and reinstall them one after another with appropriate checking.
