Apparently, there is alot of overhead on pgAdminII. *Alot*. When running the
query from the command line, it comes back almost immediately. When run-
ning the query from pgAdminII, it takes anywhere from betwen 9 seconds to 12
seconds. I ran an EXPLAIN ANALYZE and, from what I could tell, the query
was to take .827 millisconds (or something along those lines). I'd paste the
results here but sadly the power went out at home last night, while I was working
on this, due to the tropical storm that hit the Gulf.

Do other people on the list use pgAdminII? Do you notice a performance hit
when running a query from pgAdminII versus running it from the command line?
Is there anything that I can do to optimize pgAdminII a bit? I doubt it's because
of my machine because it's pretty fast. Athlon XP 2100+, 512mb DDR...

thnx,
Christoph
