I have samba-3.5.4-63.fc13.i686 and I just mounted and unmounted
a windows xp share over my lan.

After umount:
cat /proc/fs/cifs/Stats
Resources in use
CIFS Session: 0
Share (unique mount targets): 0
SMB Request/Response Buffer: 0 Pool size: 4
SMB Small Req/Resp Buffer: 0 Pool size: 30
Operations (MIDs): 0

0 session 0 share reconnects
Total vfs operations: 13 maximum at one time: 2

and load: from  /usr/bin/w :
$ w
  09:47:40 up 28 min,  2 users,  load average: 0.72, 0.61, 0.59

I am not seeing what you report.

I am using  samba-3.5.4-63.fc13.i686
