I would guess that your problem stems, in part, from the fact that the
mbox format is not really designed for a 47 meg box with 7500+
messages.  I would seriously consider saving some of those messages in
other mailboxes.  This would help alleviate this problem and
undoubtedly make finding specific messages easier.

Personally, I have a cron job that runs at midnight on the first of
each month which moves all of my mail storage into an archive
directory and compresses the boxes.  This prevents overly large
mailboxes.
