Thank you again for providing the Etrecheck Report.
The main “ Focus “ has been specific to the AdressBookSourceSync process
Though, in good conscience, there are Other Issues worth mentioning which dovetail into the AddressBookSouceSync issue.
Seeing that there are numerous Google Services installed used on this computer.
Would it be correct to infer that the Contacts Application is using a Google Service as the Source for the Contacts Application ?
If so, from observations, this is often times the Source of the AddressBookSouceSync issue
To get a better evaluation by the User ( you ) - try disassociating Contact from Google Sync Service for Contacts.
Then Test or Monitor if the AddressBookSouceSync Memory / CPU process and see of it drops back to Normal Levels
Q - Runtime: 7:42
Q - Performance: Below Average
Q - Low performance - EtreCheck report took an unusually long time to run.
A - Tip Off that the light weight Application Etrecheck took so long to run to completion
Problem: Other problem
Q - Description: This is the requested ETrecheck. The problem with Suggestd hogging the cpu is less now. But now it is addressBookSourceSync that uses 100% for long periods.

A - This computer will or is struggling to find Empty Space on the drive to save all the changes of files.The more it struggles to find space the more CPU Power it will consume. The more it Consumes the slower the computer will perform.
It is generally a good computer practice to alway keep at least 15% to 20% of the Total Drive Capacity’s as Empty Space. Allowing the computer to drop below these guidelines may eventually, cause unintended consequences.
Q - Launchd: /Library/LaunchDaemons/WDDiscoveryService.HelperTool.plist
A - The Operating System is very will equipped to manage External Dries without the Often Time buggy Third Party Software interfering in this process
Q - [Not Loaded] PACESupportFamily.kext - com.paceap.kext.pacesupport.master (5.9.1 - SDK 10.6)
A - I maybe Off Base on this one. Have seen this from time to time. From memory, it was some type of Software or Service that Protects Installed Software from being Stolen or compromised in some way ? If so, unless the computer is a High Value Target - do not really seen a special use for it.
