What is celapid, and why is it using almost 100% of my CPU load?

I have a 2019 iMac I recently purchased, and it was behaving fine, but recently started acting strangely, the fan was running loud, and certain applications such as Outlook were lagging really bad. I looked in the activity monitor to see if I could figure out what was going on, and I noticed a process called celapid taking around 100% of the cpu. I googled around, but couldn't find any information. Can anyone share anything on this?

iMac 27″, macOS 11.2

Thanks for the response. The member who made that post seems to have a bit more knowledge prior to his posting than I currently do. Is it the memory tab in the activity monitor I should be watching rather than CPU tab to identify problem applications?

Also, he found all sorts of plist content on his computer. Where would I go to find similar issues? Could this be my problem? What is the surest way to isolate the issue that is causing my computer troubles?

Thanks again for your help!
