AFAIK there is no way to cache a layer in memory.  This would be a useful
feature to add to GeoServer.

Perhaps you could cache the geometry as a shapefile - which should provide
fastest performance off disk?  It would be interesting to see what the
performance boost is at any rate.  I also wonder if clipping small parts
out of a very large geometry is causing a performance hit.
