Hello Nicky,
As the developer of EtreCheck, I am unaware of any setting that might show that. It is best to post your entire EtreCheck report. Each individual line may not have much meaning. But taken together, they might tell a story.
Try quitting Chrome. Google Chrome Helper is using 85% of your CPU. After quitting Chrome, go to Applications/Utilities/Activity Monitor/CPU and if Chrome Helper is still running, select it and hit the X at the top left to quit it.

That's actually why I never recommend anyone use Chrome. It takes up too much RAM and slows your system down to a crawl. If you don't want to use Safari for whatever reason, use Firefox. It's nowhere near as memory intensive.
Thanks Eric, that definitely helped.
II use Safari most of the time; unfortunately, the signal I've been getting is lousy, and Sprint's little booster doesn't do the trick, so I've been using Hangouts, which only runs in Chrome.
