Hello,
we have SBS 2k3 Standart R2 in our company. Is there any reason why
should WINS service take 25% of CPU time whole day?

No, that sounds odd. You might take a look at your event logs for
clues....and mention whether this just started, any changes you're aware of,
etc.
Is it causing you actual problems?

It's quite small
network, about 25 PCs, one half of them is within domain, second half
of them isn't.

On an related note, I'd stop and disable the computer browser service on all
your workstations, domain-member or not, since you've got WINS.
