I mean checking where find is spending time instead of speculating.

There is no productized way to do it so to speak, but the following
crapper should be good enough:
#pragma D option dynvarsize=32m

profile:::profile-997
/execname == "find"/
{
        @oncpu[stack(), "oncpu"] = count();
}

/*
 * The p_flag & 0x4 test filters out kernel threads.
 */

sched:::off-cpu
/execname == "find"/
{
        self->ts = timestamp;
}

sched:::on-cpu
/self->ts/
{
        @offcpu[stack(30), "offcpu"] = sum(timestamp - self->ts);
        self->ts = 0;
}

dtrace:::END
{
        normalize(@offcpu, 1000000);
        printa("%k\n%s\n%@d\n\n", @offcpu);
        printa("%k\n%s\n%@d\n\n", @oncpu);
}

just leave it running as: dtrace -s script.d -o output

kill it after periodic finishes. it blindly assumes there will be no
other processes named "find" messing around.
