I thought about that too, but enabling UseDeclareFetch will slow down the
query: it takes 30 seconds instead of 8.

No it doesn't. That's the reason I used it to verify the behaviour.
But I remember Dave Page mentioning using a virtual list control to display
the results and that means a round trip for every tuple.

I don't think it's a Windows-specific problem, because psql is doing the job
blindingly fast. The problem lies in the way my application is coded. See the
response to Dimitri for details.
