I have the latest Monterey version (12.1) and DisplayLink 1.6.

Is this to be expected?
I am not sure where you derive the percentage value? Activity monitor?

When I look at the Cpu History I am constantly using high CPU resources with Displaylink on my MacBook Air (2019) Intel 5 laptop however I tried the same Displaylink setup on the M1 processor MB Air (2020) and hardly any CPU resources used, oddly enough it uses more GPU resources.
