Cypress causing battery drain and heat on M1

Current behavior

I am not sure what is exact reason for this but I am using M1 with cypress for over a month now and every time I open cypress it drains battery of M1 faster than any other application. It also heats up while running cypress.

Desired behavior

It should not consume so much battery and produce so much heat.

Test code to reproduce

Nothing specific even the default test cases results in same behaviour.

My cypress configuration:

{
  "component": {
    "componentFolder": "src/tests/cypress/components",
    "testFiles": "**/*spec.{js,jsx,ts,tsx}"
  },
  "viewportHeight": 660,
  "viewportWidth": 1600
}

We’ve made some improvements in terms of performance, which could save some CPU in our more recent versions. You may want to update and see if it still has this effect.
