PGAdmin3 runs pg_dump etc

Hello list!

I recently noticed that PGAdmin III (v 1.16.1) is kind of slow starting
up (it didn't use to be), and in fact one time I wasn't even sure if I
clicked on the icon properly to start it. I opened the Task Manager (I
run Windows 7 Ultimate SP1) and saw pg_restore was running, then the
process vanished and PGAdmin finally opened.

I did it again, this time watching the process list, and it looks like
when I start PGAdmin it automatically runs pg_dump, pg_dumpall, and then
pg_restore in the background before showing the splash screen and
actually starting.

I'm assuming that as my local development databases grow, it is taking
longer to do all this, which is why I never noticed until now.

What's up with that? Should I be concerned? I was unable to find
anything about this with Google... I'm not sure why a GUI would need to
do all that each time it starts up. I'd prefer to skip this if possible,
since it is becoming slow to get started working.

Thanks for any insight!
