Photos update taking forever in macOS Catalina

Its been a couple of weeks since I upgraded my MacBook Pro OS to Catalina. My photos update is taking forever to complete. So far only 4% despite leaving the machine on for several days!

MacBook Pro 15", macOS 10.15

my photos after "successful" Catalina upgrade #1 (meaning there are lots of problems, but the upgrade process seems concluded) has now been running for 2 weeks almost 100% of the time... "on power" and just stuck at 25% in a seemingly endless loop "gathering favorites, analyzing scenes, detecting duplicates, , curating best photos, composing layout".

How long should this go on for? i have 114GB of photos.
