The problem is not that your drive is too slow or doesn't cache enough information. The problem is exactly the opposite. Your system (and virtually everybody else's, by now) is "too good" for Diablo. It seeks out the info you need so quickly that the drive doesn't need to keep spinning anymore. And then suddenly you need a sound effect you hadn't needed previously during the session and, uh oh, the CD needs to start spinning from a dead standstill in order to seek out that sound. That is when you are screwed.
If anything, you could try setting the CD-ROM cache very low instead of increasing it. I don't think it will work though. The best solution is the one Draconis mentioned: emulate the CD on your hard drive and play off that (or use a no-CD crack to do the same thing).
