The benefit is that instead of 20-40 photos and videos scanned per day, I'm now getting 15-20,000 scanned per day! So it should be finished in a couple days, just like on my iPhone and iPad. So you might need to use an external drive, and move your library there for a few days. Now, this presupposes you have enough disk space on the drive where you're Photos library is located to store all the photos and videos from your library. Wait a really long time for all Originals to be downloaded.Choose 'Download Originals to this Mac'.I'm fairly certain the macOS version of Photos and iCloud Photo Library have some bugs causing this problem. On my iPhone and iPad, even though I have Photos set to 'optimize iOS storage' (meaning only a subset of photos and videos are stored on the phone), the people scanning only took a few days, and then it's kept up since.īut on the Mac, after a few weeks, the pace is still glacial. There are all kinds forum posts and support requests in Apple's community forums asking " Anyone else finding Photos 'People' scanning really slow?" and " Why is people scanning in MacOS Photos so slow?".
Some days it seemed it would take forever.

I would leave the Mac on all night, and check in the morning, and only 20-30 new faces would be recognized.
And after three weeks of seeing one of my CPUs stick around 100% all day every day (while plugged in), I started getting sick of this. On both of my new laptops-which were at least 3x faster than my older Airs-I noticed that Photos started completely fresh in its photo analysis for the 'People' album that shows everyone's faces. I recently migrated around ~50,000 photos and videos from Aperture to Photos (see my blog post on the process), and have also in a short amount of time upgraded my personal and work Mac laptops (both from older MacBook Airs to newer MacBook Pros).
