Please check through your cron processes under /etc or in the init scripts. Wherever you find "updatedb", just comment it out.This is necessary for your locate database, and is fairly time consuming. If yours is a stand alone box, run "updatedb" manually as root from time to time, so that your locate com- mand works with the latest database. About once in a day or two is usually okay enough for a home user.
