It is run when deprecated function arguments are used. If I had to guess, a
plugin or theme is using a lot of deprecated arguments.

You can track deprecated usage using this hook (and a few others). One such
plugin that logs deprecated notices is
http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/log-deprecated-notices/.

If you turn on WP_DEBUG, you'll see the many E_NOTICEs being triggered.
