You might want to check out dired-virtual-mode. It is part of
dired-x. I use it to save large dired listings, maybe for directories
that I know will take a lot of time to refresh. I save these buffers
as a normal text file, with the extension .dired, and combine this
with the following customization:

(add-to-list 'auto-mode-alist '("[^/]\\.dired$" . dired-virtual-mode))
