photoanalysisd

"photoanalysisd should not be running, while you are working with Photos. Are sou seeing it using CPU time, while you are browsing or editing photos? The safest way to prevent photoanalysisd from running is using Photos - while you are browsing or editing Photos, the process should not be running. And if you are not using Photos unplug the drive with your Photos Library. The process cannot run, if there is no Photos Library on any mounted drive. You can kill or stop a process from the Terminal using the command launchctl, but killing alone will not suffice, because Photos will just restart the process again. You would have to disable photoanalysisd from ever running again. Enter man launchctl into a Terminal window to see the documentation for this command.

This command will disable photoanalysisd:

launchctl disable gui/$UID/com.apple.photoanalysisd

And this will kill the currently running process, after you disabled it.

launchctl kill -TERM gui/$UID/com.apple.photoanalysisd

To enable it again, use

launchctl enable gui/$UID/com.apple.photoanalysisd

But Photos 3.0 is not of much use, if you prevent it from collecting the categories, places, faces. I#d let the process run during the night, to get the task done."

The above method doesn't seem to work for me. So, just backup your IPhoto pictures and delete the directory once for all!
