The task is started as user 'nobody' but I don't see anything relevant
in the logs. What's the best way to find out who's executing it? It
might be some root process which drops privileges after start?

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.
