Well there used to be an "interface" line but I removed it as
unnecessary; we didn't want to restrict Samba to any particular
interface anyway. However it's possible that the 40GigE interface is
the culprit; and it's the only special thing that the machine carries...

However the weird, weird thing is the CPU consumption. I've never seen
smbd capped by CPU power but on very old or very small machines....
