CPU usage of all processes creeping up

CPU usage of all processes creeping up

Hi, I have a long-standing issue. It's NOT caused by outdated OpenCore nor OS version. The same symptom starts happening even after everything is fully updated. Currently Ventura 13.5, happening for like six months now. The system has been running and continually updated for three years without any issue.

CPU usage by many processes, including helpers that should eat barely any CPU, slowly creep up. Right now my 10c/20t 10850k (asus Z490-P mobo) idles at 70% usage (of all cores, so, 700% in Unix numbers). Temporarily fixed by reboot, but starts creeping up within hours.

Here's what I'm talking about:

Any ideas? I have seen memory leaks but this is a CPU leak :) It may not even be a Hackintosh issue but a MacOS issue but I have never seen this on any of my real Macs.

I really don't want to reinstall everything from scratch, it's a production machine without any other issues. Thanks!
