If you could take the time to elaborate a bit about your setup, how you are listing the files - and what exactly is taking a long time, I will try to help.

You need to also state if you want to cache on the DNS-323 or your client.  If on the DNS-323 the file system/samba already cache them and the DNS-323 only has a limited amount of memory and CPU to do such caching so the benefits might not get what you want (by telling it to cache more you can actually slow things down), and with an "extra" cache program this wouldn't be transparent to your client software.  If you mean to cache on the client side then that is really a question for whatever OS/client you are taking about not the DNS-323.
