In my case the culprit is always all the security spyware/crapware that my employer has installed on the macbook.

I had an issue when building large js projects would be very slow. Tracked it down to endpoint security.

Running ripgrep on / would use 1 core, with the remaining 11 at 100% from the probe service...

100% my experience too. The crapware also slows down the machine considerably.
