These things usually fix performance issues for me:

- Open your macbook and clean out the dust. I do it yearly. It always helps.

- Keep macOS and apps (e.g. browser) up-to-date. coreaudiod high cpu was fixed for me in 11.6.

- Review login items, delete what you don't need.

- Reboot, with the occasional nvram, pram reset

- Review activity monitor, find apps that have background processes and delete the ones you don't need.

- Review installed applications, especially ones w/ kernel extensions (e.g. hamachi, vbox). Delete if you don't need them. Easy to re-install.

- Kill docker desktop when not using docker.

- Fine tune spotlight settings.
