So Amazon EC2 machines have stunningly dreadful disk performance. It's a continual headache that I'm running the cyclemap on one (an extra-large instance). I use "normal" mode for the cyclemap import, but Matt used to use slim mode for his minutely tileserver and it would take about a week to just run osm2pgsql (I'll let him correct me if that's wrong). Although I haven't used the gazetteer import mode on one, I can't imagine for a minute that it'll be in any way quick. My advice would be to find another host other than EC2 if you are doing anything involving osm2pgsql (or anything else that isn't running in RAM).
