This is > very misleading... I'm guessing a fair bit of that time is pgadminIII prettifying the output for you, etc. I.e. it's not all transfer time. Hard to say without hooking some kind of profiler in pgadminIII. Is psql running local and pgadminIII remotely? Or are they both remote? If both psql and pgadminIII are remote (i.e. same basic circumstances) then it's got to be a difference in the client causing the extra time.
