Evernote using "significant energy" on Mac

[Portable Tornado 1]

In the past couple weeks, Evernote for Mac has been regularly "Using Significant Energy" -- even beating out Chrome, which is impressive. It looks like, in particular, it's "Evernote Helper (Renderer) 79843." Screenshots attached. It's making my computer noticeably hot and eating away my battery. Any ideas how to resolve? Thanks! 

Version I'm running:

Anyone checked to see if Hardware Acceleration is switched on or off?

What is Hardware Acceleration?

App settings, hardware acceleration. The checkmark must be turned OFF to turn H.A. ON.

It has an effect on the performance.

I'm not seeing it in the latest version, 10.68.3.  Only the storage space warning.

Looks like it's unchecked for me. Should I check this in order to reduce Evernote's battery usage?

No, unchecked is what you want.

Dang. Any other ideas?

What does CPU usage tell in activity monitor ?

All EN positions together.

+1. I've been experiencing a terribly laggy interface on 10.68.3 and the last couple of versions, since November.  Tried full reinstall etc and issue persists; earlier versions are snappy. Support doesn't seem to have an answer; good news is there seem to be a lot of us - hoping we get this resolved ASAP 🤞

Do the attached screenshots address your question?

[PinkElephant 9,253]

The question was CPU usage - these statistics don’t tell anything about a „why“.

In the cases I know a local data corruption caused a loop, that made the CPU run in a circle.

Apologies for the tardy followup here, but it looks like this may have resolved itself. I haven't noticed the issue in about 4 weeks at this point, so perhaps resolved by an Evernote update?
