Situation: 1.6 will be a speed improvement release.

Experienced: with the general file scanning engine that much faster, it came to attention that hosts file scans are taking long now as well.

Expected: improve scanning speed there as well if possible.

Details: since only a tenth of the hosts file checks are towards checking whether good domains are blocked by redirection to the local host, but large hosts files usually consist of these types of redirection, separating the two types of scan could speed up things.
