Activity monitor processes

I’m seeing a lot of processes running in activity monitor I’ve never seen before:


mdworker_shared

addressbooksourcesync

contactsd

identityservicesd

mapsd

sharingd

distnoted

heard

continuitycaptureagent

docxtra

amsengagement

amsaccountsd

UIkitsystem

knowledgecnstructiond

mediaanalysisd (currently using 83% of my cpu)


and whether by coincidence or not, my brand new 13 pro max and my imac are both acting really slow

and jerky


iMac 21.5″ 4K, macOS 13.0

Seems odd—

the correlation as I interpret it with limited information— is the user, not the machine or the macOS....
