We have a folder that contains over 1000 folders. At first access, the listing takes 3-5 seconds. Is there a way to help list these folders quicker? Maybe an index or query update?

Try to trace where you bottleneck is. I suppose it is DB performance (what is RAM and CPU limits), NC will not read FS directly (except case when you goes to external shares), but build from the DB.
