How do I speed up recovering "stuck" cifs mount?

I have a cifs mounted like this: mount.cifs -o uid=myuser,user=...,dom=... //IP/Share /some/mountpoint/ When I try to access it after period of inactivity (or when the network is inaccessible), it stucks application that for prolonged time (minutes). In the end it completes the request and unblocks the application. smbclient can easily log in and view directories, but the /some/mountpoint is waiting and waiting for minutes. How do I speedup these retries?
