if it is taking that long to update about 25% of your table, then you must be I/O bound. check I/o while you're running a big query.
also, what RAID controller are you running? be sure you have the latest BIOS and drivers for it.
on a pair of dual opterons, I can do large operations on tables with 100 million rows much faster than you seem to be able. I have MegaRAID 320-2x controllers with 15kRPM drives.
