Thanks for all the really great advice from this group. We really were able to improve it from a go-cart to a rocket. The site is amazingly fast now and the client is happy. I thought we would share what helped, we did several things:
- Hosting company increased number of Apache and PHP requests allowed (big difference)
- Added a white background for faking the visual blinking/redraw time (thanks C for that suggestion)
- Tuned all the performance settings in Drupal (one of the settings in hidden and separate from the others)
