This depends on the OCSP implementation; the use of OCSP does not automatically equate to 'real-time' or (in some cases) even 'moderately-close-to-real-time' certificate status. If the responder is referencing a CRL for status info, the data will only be as fresh as the CRL it references. Personally, I don't agree with such implementations of OCSP...but they do exist.
