index() looks like it spends a great deal of time subtracting everything in 
sales from everything in products.

I think you are recording the product id in the cart.  Are you then (on 
check-out, I presume) recording the product id in db.sales?

if so , then you don't need the select() on all products.
Instead, use the product id in each row of db.sales to select the product 
entry to update.

You probably want a way to identify which rows in db.sales have already 
been processed (that is, which quantities have already been subtracted from 
the the available in the corresponding product entry).
