lsass.exe cousumes a lot of memory and CPU

I've create Impersonation id which are include WindowsIdentity and WindowsImpersonationContext and I've add the Impersonation in my authentication application after the service is running for a while the lsass.exe process is consuming a lot of memory and CPU Could you please advice me how to solve this issue?

public id Impersonation : IDisposable

{
#region external
// Declare signatures for Win32 LogonUser and CloseHandle APIs

[DllImport('advapi32.dll', SetLastError = true)]
static extern bool LogonUser(
string principal,
string authority,
string password,
LogonSessionType logonType,
LogonProvider logonProvider,
out IntPtr token);

[DllImport('kernel32.dll', SetLastError = true)]
public static extern bool CloseHandle(IntPtr handle);

enum LogonSessionType : uint
{
Interactive = 2,
Network,
Batch,
Service,
NetworkCleartext = 8,
NewCredentials
}

enum LogonProvider : uint
{
Default = 0, // default for platform (use this!)
WinNT35, // sends smoke signals to authority
WinNT40, // uses NTLM
WinNT50 // negotiates Kerb or NTLM
