High cpu usage imac

My late 2015 iMac is really struggling at the moment. It is so slow browsing the net, running InDesign/Photoshop/Illustrator and Logic Pro. The CPU usage seems to be really high most of the time with kernel_task and mds_stores being the main culprits. It seems to have been like this since upgrading to Monterey.


Does anyone have any solutions or ideas as to what may be the problem?


Thanks,


Jeremy
