find command in the /usr/lib/crontab

Is there anyone knows what the "find / -name '#*' -atime +3 -exec rm -f {}\;"
doing? We have this statement in our /usr/lib/crontab since we had 4.1
It starts running from 4:00 AM every morning. We didn't have this problem before
But Recently we find that this statement never finish for a long time (at least
thousand hrs.) and drop the system performance down considerably.
