Since updating to Sonoma there has been this IMDPersistenceAgent hog taking 30-50% of the CPU power! I have seen older complaints here suggesting a reset of the NVRAM which I have done several times to no avail. Force quitting does nothing but essentially restart it. This is absurd for such non-essential process.
How can I stop this undue theft of CPU power??

SOLVED: Disabling "Enable Messages in iCloud" in Messages preferences solved the CPU hog.

Yes, solved immediately.
But [ hello Apple ⁉️] what are we losing by disabling iCloud sync in Message.app? If it means that we no longer see incoming Messages on our <expensive> computer, well that's not so great, is it?
But this is not a solution for those who wants to keep Messages in iCloud..
Yep, solved it immediately. Thanks.
Hmm. I continue to receive messages on all my devices so that's not what disabling Messages in iCloud does..
