I caught Casper running du:
0 23027 22579 0 7:41PM ?? 0:10.02 /usr/bin/du -sh /Applications/Xcode.app

The parent ID for that process is 22579, which turned out to be:
0 22579 1 0 7:37PM ?? 0:00.89 /usr/local/jamf/bin/jamf policy -randomDelaySeconds 300

And this is literally causing CPU spikes on several systems. How do I disable?

@william.gregorian check under your settings, under Computer Management and the Inventory Collection Settings. If you have the checkbox for "Include Home directory sizes" then the binary will use 'du' to grab those sizes. That's why you are probably seeing that.
