Use 'not a face' name to ease iPhoto '09 face tagging
In my experience, the best way is to delete the square detected. It should not come back automatically.

This would indeed be the best way if you were able to do this for many photos at one. Selecting all the stranger photos and then a right click for a "remove face from recognition database" or something like it. Clicking the x in the top left corner of every face is cumbersome.

This would undoubtedly be the right way to do this, IF IPHOTO WERE MORE RESPONSIVE. As it is, the "not a face" trick takes me around 20 seconds per photo, just because it's so slow to respond when I'm in batch confirm/reject mode. But if I open up each photo and try to tag it that way (or delete mistagged non-faces), then it seriously turns into like 5-10 minutes per photo, as everything just grinds to a halt for me. I don't have the fastest desktop in the world, but I don't think of it as a slouch, either -- a last-gen dual core 2.3ghz G5 tower with 8gb of RAM and lots of free hard drive space. My iPhoto library has 40k+ photos, which is admittedly a lot, but I've heard of similar sluggishness on Mac Pros too, so it's not just me. Really, until a version of iPhoto comes along that is responsive enough to even consider this, the "not a face" workaround I've been doing is the most expedient way I've been able to come up with to crank through a bunch of photos as quickly as possible. ---

Hey.. here's something to try for you. I have a MDD G4 (dual 1ghz g4) with 2 gigs of ram, os 10.5.6, and iPhoto 8.02 with about 20K images. I had the exact same experience you're describing about the sluggishness. iPhoto was so unusable to do any tagging for me. Using Faces, I'd get the rainbow-ball spinning for a good 5-10 seconds if i did something as simple as close a face box, add a missing face, try to move the face box, and so on. At LEAST many seconds between EVERY operation. Now iPhoto responds instantaneously with all this. The ONLY difference is that I turned OFF the feature where it shows how many photos are in an album with a (#) next to the album names. The only thing I can think of is that it recalculates the numbers after you do things, especially if you have any smart albums.

Are you talking about the "Sources: Show item count?"
