Very odd. I'm using it in preference to pgAdmin II in production now and finding 200,000 row tables barely make it
blink.Is it a specific table, or schema? Also, are there any potential trouble-making columns in your tables such as
blobsor byte arrays?

pgAdmin III has two classes pgConn and pgSet which which roughly emulate the MDAC functionality that pgAdmin II used.
Theseclasses make use of libpq (statically linked on Windows), not ODBC (this is mainly why the query engine is so much
betternow performance wise).
