I would hope that, in most cases, if the load is really high,
this would max out the machine's I/O capacity way before it
maxes out its CPU capacity.  Of course, that depends on the
hardware, but these days, CPUs are really fast, and I don't
think Samba is that inefficient...

Of course, the other suggestion is to updated to a non-ancient
version of Samba.
