The only row without a #-mark (comment) should be:

This file can be used to redirect traffic. Some put IP's to advertising servervs in there to stop that traffic. Any errors in it could stop pages from working, but hardly slow them down though.
I'm not completely clear on what you ment here but

127.0.0.1 local host
appears on the first line -- after that there are a bunch things like:

127.0.0.1 ad.dk.doubleclick.net

sort of entries -- i don't know if this is something to be concerned aobut or not, it sounds like spyware.
