100% CPU utilization due to winlogon

Hi,
I have a asp.net application which runs on windows xp and communicates with some external devices. In the application if we wait for more than 10 min on a specific page and then proceed the next page (wich communicates with external device) hangs. In the task manager the process "winlogon" shows 100% cpu utilization. This problem is occuring on many of the machines we have. Is this a problem with "winlogon"? Why is it consuming so much CPU?
