Accelerate Photos People Detection

Using Photos 5 on Catalina with a large (30,000+, 80GB) photo library. After every import (can be as few as 5-10 pictures/videos), the app starts its "Updating People" and "Curating" processes. These do not work when Photos is closed, and only sometimes when it is minimized (confirmed through looking for CPU activity on photoanalysisd). Typically, Curating finishes in a semi-reasonable amount of time. But People takes indeterminate amounts of time (days at least), and until it is done, you cannot see recognized faces in your recent import. That was never an issue in Aperture or iPhoto. The detection process (even if it was only decent) was done in a minute or two.

I know you can manually add faces to people, but isn't the point of the analysis to not have to do that? Google Photos figures out who is in a picture without any effort on my end, and it happens fast (yes, I know that is server side).

Is there a way to force Photos to "speed" through the people detection? The way it is now is so "who knows if it's running or when it may finish, and what it even might find".

Thanks.

PS - Tried testing using raw import on fresh new Photos library...same delay. Running 2020 MBA.
