Just a general query if this is 'typical' seeming, for the last couple of days I've observed a constant approx 60% cpu usage on ventura with an Intel 16", both 13.0 and 13.1 beta just now after updating, that keeps the laptop noticeably warm at all times.. needless to say, this is not very pleasing.

I can't see any obvious trigger for it, and it remains after reboot. There are no mds indexing services or such running concurrently.

edit: ok, just tried force killing it instead again, and this time, that seems to have actually done something.. tried requesting a restart earlier and it did nothing, but this time it has reduced to normal seeming usage.. will see if this continues, hopefully.

I had this issue with 13.0 beta on an Intel 2018 Mini. Upgrading the 13.1 beta did something to calm it down but I recalled being annoyed with it as well.
