Hi, As other says I think the main probleme here is your IO, if you can't buy SSD try to split you database on multiple drives by using tablespaces in postgres, one tablespace on one disk with tables and another for indexes, it may helps. I had the same problem recently but it was on hour update, and I couldn't change the disks, an update took more than one hour. I've found a solution for that, each hour I update the database without indexing by using nominatim option --no-index, and twice a day I run update.php without this option, this reduce a lot IO consumption. This was a solution for me, hope this helps.
