Since I updated my MAC to macOS Ventura 13.1, my computer has been running very slowly. It feels like a Windows computer, no kidding. I have run an EtreCheckPro report to help troubleshoot the issue. The report is attached.
iMac, OS X 10.11
Welcome!
You have two self-inflicted wounds: CleanMyMac and AVG. Neither are needed for a Mac and both can cause slowness.
Either or both could be the cause of your underperforming Fusion drive:
Performance:
System Load: 15.51 (1 min ago) 7.23 (5 min ago) 4.33 (15 min ago)
Nominal I/O usage: 13.71 MB/s
File system: 20.98 seconds
Write speed: 400 MB/s ⚠️
Read speed: 1320 MB/s
Your Read speed should be 600-900MB/sec based on reports from unadulterated iMacs with Fusion drives. Removing both CleanMyMac and the AVG stuff will likely fix that.
This is not self-inflicted but a bug that shows up now and then:

Second the assessment of @Allan Jones re " BrickMyMAc " aka CleanMyMac and any type of AV Software
This will include CleanMyMac , aka “ BrickMyMac “
Read some of the posting and arrive at your own conclusions.
The The Built in Security is all that is required.
Mac app security enhancements - Apple Support (CA)
Specific to CleanMyMac aka “ BrickMyMac “
To put the CleanMyMac is context and the damages it may have or has done.
This application can or will Muck Up your User Account ( Home Folder ) of this machine.
It does not touch the Operating System itself unless you consider your User Account ( Home Folder ) as part of the Operating System
Then in that specific context - it has Mucked Up the Operating System
MAC running macOS Ventura is running very slow
