Not surprising at all. My work issued MacBook top CPU time has been always `com.crowdstrike.falcon.Agent`, before Apple M1 released my Intel 2019 MacBook Pro can barely do any everyday task with that Agent running in the background. It crashed video calls, crashed the entire OS, I couldn't even smoothly type in an IDE back then.

This is not something Crowdstrike specific, my company uses SentinelOne and it is also as intrusive and CPU intensive - basically makes development work on intel mac almost impossible.

I hate all the EDR nonsense on laptops. I wonder if the added cost for lost workhours and electricity wouldn't be more than the tiny chance of catching a malware.
