[GENERAL] PSQL command line print speed

Queries which perform in a few milliseconds through a driver (psycopg2 in this case) can take several seconds or minutes to complete in the console, seemingly just due to it printing lines at a very leisurely pace (in other words, this is not the delay caused by the query itself, often it starts printing almost instantly but spends a very long time just writing output). While overall application performance is unaffected, simple admin tasks and poking around the data take longer than I would like as a result. Is there any way to improve just the display/write performance in the console?

Thanks for any insight,

Adrian
