This could be misconfiguration or overloading.
The question is why the delta? You need to keep track of where people are
logging in for that site. Set up a logon script for them and have it record
somwhere what their logon server is every time they logon (hint: Env var
logonserver) and what their site is (dump nltest /dsgetsite or something to the
log).
Then look through it and find out if people are authenticating outside of their
site. If they are, then something is wrong with the site/subnet configuration
(see log for what site they say they are) or you have DNS issues or you have a
DC with issues or you have overloaded the local DC.
If the logons are all happening on the local DC then you either have a long
running script, connectivity issues to other shared resources, large roaming
profiles, an issue with the local DC, or you have overloaded the local DC.
