Well you will need the equally 40 seconds to fill your hypothetical
in memory table. (even a bit more due to the creation of a datastructure).

So you can do the aproaches of semi materialized views (that are in fact
writing into a shadow table) or just prefetch your data at time - just
at the times you would refill your memory tables if they existed.
A cronjob with select/fetch should do.
