Hi Dave, thanks for your answer. No, all the machines are set to 'Errors only'. It is a bit of a mystery to me and I'm beginning to really wonder what makes one machine that much faster than the others.
Thinking of it the slow machines all have a clean install of pgAdmin and no other postgreSQL related software. The fast machine (my personal) has lots of software using postgres. For instance i have found 6 or 7 different versions of libpq.dll on it.
