I had similar symptoms. The problem was that winbind stopped resolving
user and group names for this period. A simple "ps aux" also taked some
minutes if there was a process owned by a domain user.

These delays disappeared after moving security from "domain" to "ads"
and joining the domain as a 2k server. This helped to me.

good luck!
