This is valid if the client has two unique TIDs to the same share.
Many things can cause this increase in CPU and is not encessarily
abnormal.  If the client is particularly chatty at the time, then
you will see increased CPU usage.

Just curioous, why are you worried about this small usage?

I still don't see what the real problem is?  There is still
only one smbd process.  Is you server beyond its capacity?
