In any case, there is always Browse Folders, which is great for handling huge numbers of files. So you might want to consider using that, instead of the inefficient Sony cache system.
PS: I did a quick test with making a PRS+ command that marks ALL books as read or unread, and it had no problem with 4300+ files. So I'll add that once I've decided what the best implementation is (it should offer a choice between IM/SD/MS, for instance).

Interesting but even with that memory it should be ok, it seems so that it is mostly a optimization problem.
I am aware of Browse folder but it doesn't what I want, ie collection, thumbnails, sorting, search and so on as far as I know.
I am wondering if it would be possible to recode the original sony cache handling or if as you said it would be possible to modify memory handling, but the problem here apart from the ton of work it would probably be is that you may have to modify the core MontaVista operating system.
EDIT: Concerning the read unread/problem, I am a little surprised because if you are able to this it means that you are able to load the 4300+ cache or is there something I don't understand?
