Temp object appear and are locked down by system processes data/lo

We restarted the service instead of rebooting the server.  Temp1, Temp2, ...
Temp10 appeared in the log folder file and in the data folder file -
identical names, bigger in the data folder.  We can't see what is in them -
they are locked down by the system.  Anyone know what it might be?  Symptoms
are - system sluggish - lots of timeouts - occasional deadlocks that require
a server reboot to resolve.  Symptoms reappear after about 3 hours.
