TOPIC: Backend Pagination jokes

Backend pagination doesn't work, so I can search events only by the filter (or typing the event name).

I have more than 1000 events and sometimes when I select "events" in the backend I get the whole list of 1000 events (usually it has #20 events per page). Due to that my mysql stops working for 5-10 minutes (=site becomes unavailable with mysql error).
After a while this I get the message from the hosting (Hostgator) that myslq database was overloaded by the abnormal quantity of the simultaneous queries and was blocked by the hoster for a while.

Can the backend pagination be fixed? My site is the best patient for replicating this issue. I didn't see this issue be addressed in 2.7.3

Thanks
