I don't know much about Samba on Linux, but I do know quite a bit about
Microsoft networks. The master browser line above indicates quite a
problem.
Have you recently added an NT Server to your network segment? I've no
idea how Samba handles elections (who gets to be master/backup/etc), but
that may be the source of this problem and the high CPU usage.
Do you notice unusually high broadcasts on your network? i.e. slow
response outside of the Linux box?
Sorry I can't help more.
