We used to have a similar problem - but I've not seen it in a long time.

It was always a badly behaved PC and often involved a Publisher document
being stuck open.

Running top, see if one smbd process is hogging the CPU. You should be
able to work that back to a PC using smbstatus, and I think that's where
the problem will be...
