In fact the Redhat bug suggests it's likely a samba issue...

Title:
  gvfsd-smb: very high CPU utilisation

Status in gvfs package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed
Status in samba package in Ubuntu:
  New
Status in samba package in Fedora:
  Unknown

Bug description:
  Example:

  I use Virtualbox and mount a .vdi on an SMB server. Using gvfsd-smb
  (browsing within Gnome to find the share), gvfsd-smb uses up to 50%
  CPU which slows down the entire system when accessing the network
  share. Mounting using sudo ($ sudo mount -t smbfs -o
  guest,nounix,noperm //server/share /media/share) so that cifs is used
  uses around 8% CPU. The difference is dramatic!

  If I didn't have sudo access my machine would grind to a halt when
  trying to use the remote share.
