All I did was copy your command line and place it into a terminal and
pressed enter.
I tried to make the terminal window bigger because it was wrapping, but
that had no effect, so, not understanding the commands anyway, I decided
not to 'muck it up'.
I did not sort any column, what you see is the raw data from your command.
But I do not think sorting would do any good because the 'thunar' lines
were constantly moving all over the screen covering the about top 25
lines. What you captured with your command is a snapshot of a moment.
By the way, when I went home, I ran the top command on my home computer,
same LTS version, there were no 'thunars' on the listing at all.
I think the main issue here is, why are these thunars running on my
computer at all, if I do not have a file manager open.

I doubt that 0.0% CPU usage and 5.3% MEM usage are the cause for the
bad performance.
How did you sort when running top?
After running top push x to highlight the column you are currently
sorting by, then push Shift+M to sort by memory and after that Shift+P
to sort by CPU usage. This at least should work with a default "classic"
top.
