This is not related to your performance issues, but it usually considered bad
form to use sprintf like this (mainly for security reasons). The usual way of
doing this would be:

  my $aq = $dbh->prepare("SELECT * from dbxref dx, db where accession = ? and dx.db_id = db.db_id and db.name =
'GB_protein'");
  $aq->execute($rec);
