I just saw this behaviour as well. Here's the output of top I managed to
capture with mem and cpu usage before it ground my system to a halt:

Title:
usb-creator format disk causes udisks-daemon hogging mem and cpu
Status in “udisks” package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
Note: I restarted my system to get my computer working properly. These
attachments may be useless.
I was trying to create a bootable usb stick with usb-creator. I
clicked "format disk".
(What you expected to happen)
I expect this utilty to wipe my usb stick so that the iso can be
installed onto it.
(What happened instead)
It said something like "dbus did not send a reply", and the system was
frozen. I got into the tty and ran top there, finding that udisks-
daemon is hogging both cpu and memory, and another process udisks-
helper-modify-partion hogging only cpu.
Output from top
4343 root 20 0 8391m 3.1g 460 R 99.9 81.3 7:41.24 udisks-daemon
8593 root 20 0 20060 504 408 R 99.9 0.0 7:41.65 udisks-helper-m
the second process was truncated by top somehow
I have a dell inspiron 3421, which came with a ubuntu. I upgraded it
to 13.10. I have udisks 1.0.4-8ubuntu1, usb-creator-gtk 0.2.50.1, in
case these are useful
(PS My English is not very good. Edit my post if you wish.)
