After starting the backup parts of the desktop are being refreshed rapidly - not just the pgAdmin and the backup dialogue window. Even the mouse cursor and the icon of another running program in the task bar 'flashed' after starting the backup and switching the active window. The backup eventually completes, but takes much longer for the same database on a 8.4 server - about a minute instead of 8 seconds when using pgAdmin 1.10.5. Could check this again, please?

There is not much to check. As soon as you click the Backup button,
pgAdmin launches pg_dump and everything is donc by this tool. If you
have an issue afterwards, it's not related to pgAdmin.

Moreover, I can't reproduce the fact that it takes more time to dump an
8.4 database with 9.0 pg_dump.
