Monterey disc utility very very very slow
Running disc utility, M1 pbp, 14. Computer had gotten very slow and buggy. 23 data snapshots. 30 minutes now and it’s only on #2!! My i7 was faster and less buggy. Any others experiencing this bad behavior?

Hello Theodore Stacy,
For performance difficulties with your Mac, you'll want to take the additional steps from this resource: If your Mac runs slowly - Apple Support
Should that still persist, do you experience the same behaviors if you boot your Mac into safe mode using the steps below?
1. Shut down your Mac.
2. Turn on your Mac and continue to press and hold the power button until you see the startup options window.
3. Select your startup disk, then press and hold the Shift key while clicking “Continue in Safe Mode.”
4. Log in to your Mac. You might be asked to log in again.
You can also find those steps in this resource: How to use safe mode on your Mac - Apple Support
It can take a few extra minutes to boot into safe mode. Your screen may flash or flicker while in safe mode. Those behaviors are expected. Testing in safe mode runs a check on your disk, removes some cached files, and can help isolate conflicts with startup items. Once you've tested that behavior in safe mode, you can restart to leave safe mode.
Let us know your results, and we'll keep moving forward from there.
