Exactly. Antiviruses are evil in this sense - crippling battery life significantly.
Wherever possible, I send “pkill -STOP” to all those processes, and stall them and thus save battery…

I half wonder if that’s part of the issue with Windows PCs and their battery life. The OS requires so much extra monitoring just to protect itself that it ends up affecting performance and battery life significantly. It wouldn’t be surprising to me if this alone was the major performance boost Macs have over Windows laptops.
