If you don't use the Photos app on your Mac, I have found a possible solution. Delete the albums used by Photos app -- open finder and navigate to wherever your Photos album is stored (for me in ~/Pictures).

After deleting these albums, the Photos app will no longer launch correctly (complaining about not being able to find the albums file). Upon doing this, the photoanalysisd process immediately stopped!
