CentOS - Jul 2009 - files not showing up in an nfs mounted filesysetm in timely manner

We have and nfs mount from a windows pc nfs server.  A file is created
on the server, but can take as long as 50 seconds to become available on
the client.

We are running Centos 5.2 (final), using NFS version 3.  Is there
anything we can do from the client side to see the file more quickly.
The files are very small, usually about 1k

Look at the "nfs" man page and consider mount options such as
acdirmin,
acdirmax (or actimeo), possibly even noac in specific circumstances.
