When Illustrator is hidden, GPU load drops immediately (iMac M3, only since Tahoe 26.2 was installed).
By the way, Illustrator gets the fans running top-speed on an Intel iMac with Ventura too.
For both computers, there are no significant steps to reproduce the problem; the GPU load seems to shoot up randomly, pertaining until Illustrator is closed, or until minutes of inactivity pass, or when Illustrator is hidden.

The solution with the Properties panel is not an improvement: when opening that panel, one STILL has to navigate focus towards the keyboard increment field. What's worse: this can only be done by handling the mouse. Tabbing your way to that field can't be done since [TAB] is the main interface's keyboard shortcut for hiding/unhiding the tool panels.

Since the new update to 29.7.1 the cursor doesn't default to the field Keyboard Increment when pressing [CMD]-K or [CTRL]-K in order to open the preferences dialog. Now it defaults to the (new) search field.
It hinders flow: typically I use to alter the keyboard increment to different values often on the fly when designing, now an extra grab to the mouse is needed, or tabbing my way through a lot of other fields before I can land focus on the Keyboard Increment field...
Reproducing steps:
GPU load is always high (like 70% or more) when Illustrator sits idle on screen, when nothing is happening (no drawing).
GPU load may run up to a constant 100%, with temperatures in the iMac above 100ºC, when other Adobe apps are in the background (like InDesign and Photoshop).
GPU load drops immediately when Illustrator is "hidden" (i.e. running, but user interface is not on screen). The GPU load drops further with each next Adobe app being hidden.
