iCloud Photos (and most other iCloud services) turned off. Photos Library completely empty. But for some reason mediaanalysisd still sucks up a bunch of CPU.
@paul I solved all my CPU problems by closing the graphs.
Turns out, CPUs are freakin fast and the percentage in use is a worthless number. Activity Monitor regularly shows multiple processes at over 100%, which is obviously impossible.
The only time I worry about CPU usage is if there is a noticeable slowdown, which is a very rare occurrence and usually the fault of Microsoft Teams or some Adobe product.
@jimmylittle sure, but wastes electricity.
