The "hang" you're describing: is it just that the console doesn't produce any output for quite some time, or does it really stop? If it stops, how did you check this?

If it's really, really stopping you could try reducing the I/O load by using ionice, eg. ionice -c 3 find . -type f

Also, if you use \+ instead of \; to terminate the -exec command to pass multiple filenames at once, instead of invoking the command for each file.
