Q: photoanalysisd is using 124 % on my cpu Late 2010 mea

How long since you installed Sierra?

Same here.

About 11hours.

I was asking laurent305a

You must have a lot of photographs.

Hi Folks

I had this - any yes if you have more than 1 picture it goes nuts ... I left my laptop running over night to find it almost too hot to touch the next morning...

I ran the following script which disables the agent and a few other buggie things that hog cpu and battery , if there things us use you can just remove them from the disable list. (my cpu is now back to 1% and cold boots in 8 seconds).

Anyone else noticed that you can not rate the install - come on apple!!

I guess you mean that it was not too hot to touch in the morning.
