If you examine the --log--sql output for a small test country you can see what it does in terms of the postgresql. osm2pgsql gives options to trim the output to only what you need (so if you don't want waterways, traffic features, parking places or places of worship etc.. why load them) Hopefully you have found the excellent geofabrik https://download.geofabrik.de/ source for osm data. Rather than load this data afresh each update cycle you would be better off simply loading the changes so the .osc files or ... osm osmosis will create the equivalent of a diff file for you Looks like you are already using osm2psql's recommended postgresql.config settings, I'd be surprised if this was way off. Getting as close to tin rather than virtual machines and containers will also help, lots of io going on here. If you are only interested in the geography you might consider geofabrik's shapefile available for many countries, they have already done some of the work for you. Apologies if you are already a long way down this route & just asking about the final stage of loading the osm2pgsql output to Postgresql but however well you do here I would only expect small marginal gains.
