Zoom CPU utilization killing MBP

Zoom causing abnormal high 200% cpu utilization, with kernel_task process at 1000%. This killing performance on 2019 MacBook Pro with Big Sur 11.5 & Latest Zoom client for MacOS. The lag is so bad that windows cannot be moved and typing in notes lags by several seconds per character.


Any ideas what may be causing this? It seems to have started in late December.
