Just a follow-up.  I noticed that when I re-enable dropdowns for the POS screen, opening the POS/Sale screen loads fairly quickly and the customer dropdown is populated quickly also.  If I select another customer, and then click the Update button it takes about three minutes or longer to reload.  I am no expert, but it seems to me the problem is around the update functionality.  Reviewing the pos.pl code, I noticed two subs called "on_update".  Like I said, I am no expert especially when it comes to Perl, but that seemed odd to me.  In addition, monitoring both the apache, and postgresql logs I don't see anything of interest.
