I'll second this suggestion.  When I turned on WINS on our network (which is
about the same size -- around 35 machines) and configured all the systems to
use it, it made a big difference.  Network neighborhood is much more stable
and consistent, there's less network traffic, and clients no longer have to
be running for 5-10 minutes before they have a complete browse list.
