from the manpage of "find", it even compares it to the xargs method:

-exec command {} +
This  variant of the -exec action runs the specified command on the
selected files, but the command line is built by appending each
selected file name at the end; the total number of invocations of the
command will be much less than the number of matched files.  The
command line is built in much the same way that xargs builds its
command lines.  Only one instance of `{}' is allowed within the
command.   The  command is executed in the starting directory.
