Personally, I would just move to gnmoe3 and use the Gnome Classic desktop.
FWIW I recently found that starting from CentOS 7.5, gsd-account/polkitd have been constantly using 10%-15% CPU.
I dug it a little bit yesterday and found the cause: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1600161#c3
Workaround is to disable account password expiration check by removing /etc/xdg/autostart/org.gnome.SettingsDaemon.Account.desktop
If you are switching too/using GNOME3 and see high CPU usage. This might be a cause.
