That is it. It uses a select * from something to get the field names.

The solution is to update to Interchange 4.6.3, where if you are using
MySQL it will use a "limit 1" to keep that time to the minimum.

You could also find the place in Vend::Table::DBI where it does
that and hardcode a "limit 1" yourself.
