 When MythTV connects to the database, DBUtils::CheckTables() and
 IsNewDatabase() call DBUtils::GetTables(), which does a query to select
 all table names. For a few users with excessively large databases, this
 causes a hang (delay?) at startup:

 Checking specifically for a few tables (e.g. settings, recorded) would be
 a lot faster than enumerating hundreds or thousands of tables?
