Collect a symptom description. Does this always happen? Is there a set of steps that will make it happen? How long does it take to re-happen after restarting Samba? When was this symptom first noticed? What else was going on around that time? Do you have multiple smbd processes, or just one? Look at the logs. Anything look odd or out of place? Look for difference in log patterns between the times this symptom is occurring and times this symptom isn't occurring. Look for other occurrences in Google. The phrase "smbd cpu usage high" produces some hits -- I didn't look at them, but doing so much cut your troubleshooting time considerably. If practical, you can start by disconnecting connected machines, one by one, and see if it goes down. Perhaps one process on one computer is doing it. Best of luck.
