However, the downloading of the images whether I'm capturing subs or images for alignment is very slow. It takes 40-60 seconds to download one image. I'm thinking there must something I'm doing wrong either in my process or my setup. I'm hoping someone might have some suggestions for me.

Also, is there a way to just save images to the SD card and not have them download? Once I'm happy with the image, it would be nice to speed things up by just running a sequence of captures where it only saves on the camera SD card.

I have format set to native and upload set to client. I am using the offline solver in alignment (with Astrometry loaded on the Raspberry Pi).

Yes you can save to the SD card. In EKOS set the Upload option to Local. Then set the Remote directory to /home/pi/whatever
If your userid is not pi then change the remote directory accordingly.
