I have the part of my application that uploads lots of bulk docs perform 
a view request every x-number of documents (roughly around every 50).  
That spreads the time required to upload the view out, so that when it's 
time for someone to look at a view, the indexes are either already 
updated, or very nearly so.
Cheers,
Kai
