I noticed this this morning with the process using 13-20% CPU and overall CPU time of over 10 hours. So I killed it and it didn't come back. I'm pretty sure that this is used for syncing with Apple mobile devices and it doesn't get killed when you disconnect it.

Just one of those things that may have some small effect on battery life in 13.3.1. I did not notice this process before 13.3 and I was only on 13.3 for a short time before going to 13.3.1.
