So I promised to post the findings of the support ticket. Here we go.
Here we went -- thanks for that followup!

I am having similar issues. In addition, MWB always has a CPU usage of about 55%, even if malware protection and app block are both turned off. I am using version 4.6.12.
OK, thanks for letting me know that .12 doesn't fix it. I haven't had MWB installed for about a month.

A little more than a week ago I uninstalled MWB because RTProtectionDaemon was taking more than 50% CPU. As there hasn't been any new release -- I have 4.6.11.3824 -- today I cancelled autorenewal of my subscription which would have triggered tomorrow. Just to make sure the problem wasn't transient I just reinstalled it and observed 53% CPU, and then again uninstalled it. I'll check from time to time for a new release.

... RTPD is now back to "acceptable" but still high CPU levels ...
What's "acceptable"? I was seeing CPU% in the mid-50s before I uninstalled MWB.

Not sure... in my case RTProtectionDaemon definitely went nuts two evenings ago (I have Activity Monitor running as MWB support & I are still debugging this issue). This was after an OSX update and Office 365 also updated. The next morning RTPD seemed better behaved and I also found a stuck Office 365 update. Not sure if they are related. RTPD is now back to "acceptable" but still high CPU levels and I am still working with MWB support.
I was unclear -- I was referring to my slow-apps-opening problem that I had even after uninstalling MWB and thereby getting rid of RTPD. Indeed a workaround for the oscd.apple.com issue that GuruGuy linked to did solve that problem. MWB is still uninstalled here.

Well here is certainly something odd and I wonder if it's related.....https://www.macrumors.com/2020/11/12/mac-apps-not-opening/
Seems like that has to be it -- thanks!

My system was brought to a crawl today too, same version. Everything I tried to open gave bouncing balls in dock. Uninstall and all is fine now. I did have app block already off so not sure what changed, but I have another system with same symptoms and gonna remove there too. What changed today???
Uninstall got rid of RTProtectionDaemon, but after restart, the auto-start applications -- the ones which populate the right side of the menu bar -- are very slow to open. Then a lot of manual-start applications are "bouncing doc icon slow" to open, at least the first time. Some seem to normalize for subsequent opens (cached? wild guess).

P.S. The MWB application takes 12-15 secs. with its icon bouncing in the Dock before its window opens.
I uninstalled MWB. The uninstaller left these behind:
com.malwarebytes.mbam.uninstaller.plist
com.malwarebytes.mbam.uninstaller.bom
com.malwarebytes.mbam.frontend.application.savedState
com.malwarebytes.mbam.frontend.agent.plist
com.malwarebytes.mbam.frontend.application.plist -
Today my Mac Mini w/ MacOS 10.15.7 slowed to a crawl. Activity Monitor showed RTProtectionDaemon taking about 55% CPU with spikes to 100%. I uninstalled/reinstalled MWB 4.6.11, no joy.
Based on this thread I see no solution. Is that correct? My subscription expires in 9 days, just sayin'.

I have basically everything stored in my home folder; 624G worth.
I removed MWB last month.
