Local Database access

Question

simple idea, impossble method.
I am training to allow acces to a local database either through Flash, Captivate or other application. The only issues are i need to do it without internet access or the executable being installed on user machine.
So unless im an missing something, that rules out AS3, Javascript ( as i cannot rely on all user having a virtual server to run php) or use of Abode Air.
If there is a way or something that i am completey over looking please tell me.

Where does the lag occur?  In the original post you say it's after
When I initiate pacman -Syu, during the "Synchronizing package database..." dialogue it lags for way too long.
but then later you say
Typically that dialogue lasts for like half a second before going straight to the mirror. This lags for about 15-20 seconds or so.
I'm referring to the same "Synchronizing package database..." dialogue. I'm watching the internet monitor to see if during that time its pinging the mirrors, but there is no internet activity for a good while. Which suggests it could be related to a lag in accessing the local database on my desktop.
rgedit: I should be more specific. Typically the Synchronizing package database dialogue would take maybe .5 of a second but since about three days ago it is taking much longer. Even after changing the mirrorlist (even switching the top mirror in the mirrorlist file) and issuing the "pacman-optimize && sync" command I still get the same results.
