Point taken.  Still, going unresponsive for minutes is not a good trait 
for any interactive software.

How about a size limit (configurable?) beyond which pgAdmin displays a 
particular cell read-only, with truncated text  or a warning in place of 
the text.  This would protect the user who unknowingly displays a table 
entry with a large text field, while preserving the editing integrity.
