Hello,

I'm experiencing enormous delays when attempting to query any of the
databases @ genome-mysql.cse.ucsc.edu.

I'm using version 1.2.17 of MySQL's Query Browser and connect to
genome-mysql.cse.ucsc.edu using the information provided here
http://genome.ucsc.edu/FAQ/FAQdownloads.html#download29
<http://genome.ucsc.edu/FAQ/FAQdownloads.html#download29>
I can successfully connect to the server and can see a listing of all
databases in the Query Browser window. When attempting to view the tables of
a database via Query Browser's GUI the application either hangs completely
or takes approximately (more than) 10 minutes just to display the tables
under a schema. I'm experiencing similar side effects when trying to
retrieve table information from a schema using a simple Java class (MySQL
JDBC version 5.1.2).

Any suggestions/hints on how to overcome this issue are welcome. Thanks in
advance.

Kind Regards,
Michael
