I don't want to troll there, only one suggestion ( then I go to write some code ):
Effectively, pacman needs 40 seconds to perform a search.. using kernel cache is a workaround. Isn't against any law, but using it is equivalent to hide pacman inefficiency.

Here some tests on my machine too: [root /home/giuseppe ]# sync; echo 3 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches [root /home/giuseppe ]# time pacman -Qi > /dev/null real 0m17.745s [not cached] user 0m1.057s sys 0m1.107s [root /home/giuseppe ]# time pacman -Qi > /dev/null real 0m1.166s [cached] user 0m1.017s sys 0m0.120s --- [root /home/giuseppe ]# sync; echo 3 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches [root /home/giuseppe ]# time pacman -Qg gnome > /dev/null real 0m8.944s [not cached] user 0m0.117s sys 0m0.840s [root /home/giuseppe ]# time pacman -Qg gnome > /dev/null real 0m0.216s [cached] user 0m0.127s sys 0m0.063s --- Tests done on a Asus A7D notebook.
