No, I've got this issue for as long as I can remember.
Note: I've removed cron and installed systemd-cron instead but it didn't change anything.

Next time I see this issue I'll try to check which processes started it.
If I'll figure out a way to trigger it reliably I'll check upstream
kernel too. Thanks for looking into this.

Title:
  periodic find task slow ubuntu to death

Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

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.
