I just updated my MA M1 to Ventura ( from Monterey , idk specific version), and now it takes 30 seconds to open app.Even native apps are slow. I have a lot of free space and don’t know where is the problem…
To avoid the question / answer and question answer scenario
Suggest the User start with Points 1 to 4 and then Test
Still having issues, move onto Steps 5 and 6 and Test Again
Still no resolve - move onto Step 7 and follow instructions therein
1 - Restart in Safe Mode. This will perform a Disk Repair, clear cache files and only load Apple Software, extensions and fonts. The boot up will be slow and can take some time - Normal.
2 - Safe Mode will also eliminate Third Party Software, extensions and drivers from loading. It will only load the Minimum amount of Core Apple Processes to allow the the computer to function at a reduced Level of Performance
3 - Does the issue present in this mode ?
4 - Sometimes a Safe Boot followed by a Normal Boot will just put things right.
5 - If not - there could be something in the main User Account playing up. To further isolate this - Set up users, guests, and groups on Mac. Then log out of the Main User account and log into the dummy account and test again if the issue persists.
6 - If the issue is present in the dummy account - then, this appears to be a System Wide issue on the computer.
7 - Download the Application Etrecheck directly from the Developer.

System Software:
Q - macOS Ventura 13.5 (22G74)
A - It could be, the system is attempting to download and eventually install the latest Version 13.5.2
About the security content of macOS Ventura 13.5.2 - Apple Support (CA)
Otherwise the only other issue I see
[Running] uTorrent Web (BitTorrent, Inc - installed 2023-01-08)
Which is also holding back a normal operation of the computer.
Plus, it is a great vector for Pirated Software that can be laced with Adware / Malware and other Nefarious things

Give it some time to settle down.
Spotlight is re-indexing all the changes that have happened since moving from Monterey to Ventura
You may consider connecting the computer to the charger for the next 12 - 24 hours to guard against undue usage of the Battery
There is just some adobe programs(and some native apps) and some stock videos, that need to be edited. When I said “Just updated” It was before 2-3 days. My Macbook is only 1 year old, and SSD has a lot of free storage.
I would for the very reason contained in the link
