My MacOS was very slow too after upgrading from Catalina to BigSur.
However, I followed the instructions on the site below and the problem was eliminated.

You have to install the App "cleanmymac" in order to follow the instructions above and uninstall some old apps and services that are consuming your CPU and memory.
