Drive health is reported as fine by a couple of different programs (Drive Genius and DriveDx).
I realized after posting that a week or two ago I added a bunch of old photos from another drive to my MBP internal drive.
Don't understand why Amazon Drive has just found them. But at least there is a reason for Amazon Drive to be doing backups. But it's not being graceful. It's using almost all of the CPU, including numbers above 100%.
Shoebox seems to be less intrusive. It's using about 1.3% of CPU.
Something called ReportCrash is also using a lot of CPU. Activity Monitor reports 30-35% of CPU usage.
I now think the loss of sync with the Time Machine backup is a separate issue from the slowdown caused by the photos backup. Time Machine is stuck at "Preparing Backup".
