You could do it as a desktop app, but what benefit(s) are you looking for?

If you already have it as a WebApp then all that's needed is a web browser (you already have the cross-browser stuff figured out) and by making it a desktop app you'll need to create an installer and keep better track of versioning. Performance wise you probably wont notice much of a change (if at all) because the desktop app will still need to connect to the DB server to get/save the data, which will still take time on a desktop app to do because of the sheer amount of data being passed back.

Really what'll make a difference is the UI control you can use in a desktop app vs a webapp, but that's not what their complaints are.
