I can reproduce the issue in v1.14.0 and v1.14.1 as well. This does not happen on all of my Postgres instances, the one I am trying to actively monitor that exhibits the problem is through the ssh port forward.
Running ssh -v -L 5433:<server>:5432 <user>@<server> seems to show a constant traffic stream, with messages like this repeating: debug2: channel 5: window 1997018 sent adjust 100134 debug2: channel 5: window 1997018 sent adjust 100134 debug2: channel 5: window 1997018 sent adjust 100134 debug2: channel 5: window 1997018 sent adjust 100134 debug2: channel 5: window 1997018 sent adjust 100134 debug2: channel 5: window 1997018 sent adjust 100134 >________________________________ > From: MattK <mk...@yahoo.com> >To: "pgadmin-support@postgresql.org" <pgadmin-support@postgresql.org> >Sent: Saturday, March 17, 2012 2:06 PM >Subject: [pgadmin-support] Server status hanging on OS X > > >When connecting to a v8.4.9 server on with PgAdmin v1.14.2 on OS X (SL and >Lion) and launching the Server Status window, PgAdmin displays the status >window with highlighted process info, but then the entire application becomes >unresponsive, and shows as not responding in the Mac activity monitor, >consuming ~10% CPU. > > >This issue was also present in PgAdmin v1.14.1, but seemed to occur less >frequently (subjective).
