Comment (by dd32):

 > one of the entries is ~2-3MB large.

 In that case, I'd be looking at alternate storage methods, WordPress just
 isn't designed to have meta_values which are that large.
 Without knowing what the content of the field is, you're probably going to
 need to look at using a custom table or filesystem storage for blobs that
 size in all honesty.
