Bug Description
Periodically something starts 'find' program in the background with readdir smth in options and it slows down ubuntu to the point the music and video got hiccups, mouse lags etc. I suspect it's smth related to package or locatedb updates but can't pinpoint the culprit yet.
Anyway, the bugis in slowdown - background tasks should never-ever affect the interactive programs running by user. Ideally they should be started in dedicated, heavily policed systemd slice.
