I can reproduce **some** CPU usage when selecting this, but definitely not 100%. Do you have lots of network file systems mounted? Anything else that is special? What it does is going down the file system tree and checking for the amount of files/dirs, up to a certain level. If that takes a lot of CPU, then also find . should give you heavy spikes ...
