The --sleep-interval option not only accepts integers: see info:
When using tail without inotify support, you can make
it more responsive by using a sub-second sleep interval, e.g., via
an alias like this:
alias tail='tail -s.1'

But as tail(1) treats CIFS as "remote" [1], there may be some other
effect, e.g. buffering on the CIFS server or on the server writing
to that file. Are you sure data is available more often?
