Many smbd processes per user

Hi,
We're encountering severe load problems associated with multiple smbd 
processes running per user.  As an example below, this user has only five 
files open yet many smbd's running.  Is there a reason for this 
occurring?  I've been experimenting with file locking etc to try and get 
around it.

Thanks
Tim
