I also experience this bug. mount.ntfs will consume 100% CPU (resulting in OS freezing temporarily until whatever process completes). It's usually triggered by untarring large tarballs, or downloading large files to the NTFS partition, moving large files. I'm on 12.04 installed via Wubi from Windows 7. I've tried a variety of the suggestions presented in the comments and on other sites. I've given up now and I'm reinstalling Ubuntu on ext4. Good luck everyone!
