PostgreSQL 8.1.9, Linux Redhat ES 4

I am experiencing a timing issue with the following query:
SELECT count(procpid) FROM pg_stat_activity WHERE usename='someuser'

If I execute the above query by the client who is user "someuser" and it is 
executed immediately after connecting I am getting two different results 
depending on the speed of the connection. If I connect to the database on a 
local area network of 100Mb/s and immediately execute the statement, I see the 
result of 0. If I connect to the same database over a slow connection, for 
example 115kb/s and immediately execute the statement, I see the result of 1.

Is this normal behaviour?
