When watching Activity Monitor, I find an increasing number of  
Processes named smbd.  Each takes about .5% of the cpu and the number  
of processes keeps rising and hence the cpu usage.      Window Server  
is about 3%  and SystemUIServer is about .15%.    Don't recall adding  
any Applescript based items.  Plan to remove the items that start  
during login and see what changes.
