Opening Table in Management Studio is very slow

Dear Gurus

When I open a large table (say more than 1,000,000 Rows) in the SSMS by right clicking on the table name, it takes a very big time to fully open the table.More than 20 minutes for 1,000,000 records on a local instance.

SQL Server 2000 EM was extremely faster. Does any one knows a work around?

I need to be able to view and edit the data in SSMS.

Thanks in advance.

I do not suggest ever opening a large table like this and editing the data through management studio. It is better to write queries to view the data as needed, and dml statements to update the data as needed.
