That´s probably updatedb running updating your locatedb :)
It is called via /etc/cron.daily/find [1]. If your filesystem-entries don´t
change that much, you could move this file to /etc/cron.weekly or
something like that. Removing it would require you to manually run updatedb
prior to locate if you nedd accurate results...
