Fellow pgAdministrators,

Shortly I went trying to use pgAdmin. I know pgAdmin uses ODBC, and I know
that it is not the quickest form of connection you can get.
I  can live with that... but I wondered if any of you is experiencing this
kind of performance as well,  or have experienceD, and know a solution ;-)

Connecting itself takes 5 seconds (I can live with that, no problem)
Clicking on 'Databases' makes me wait at least 10 minutes (I have only one
database of my own, aside the default databases) I cannot live with that...
Listing the tables takes another 10 minutes at least etc etc... everything
just takes ages...

I really do not exaggerate, and think there ought to be a way to fix it...
I have:
pgAdmin 1.2.0 with databases on Postgres 7.2.2
Today I upgraded pgODBC, but that did not really help... anyone?
