Nautilus does already have such a cache though. But there is little to no code sharing between nautilus and the gtk file picker, which I think is the actual problem here.

That the file save dialog isn't based on the explorer tool is precisely why a windows file save dialog has e.g. thumbnails "for free" while the gtk file picker doesn't. It very clearly explains why you want to choose to base every file listing tool on the single file navigation tool. Any effort that goes into one is reflected in the other. If that means a surprising UX at times - that's probably worth it.
