Okay, vacuum analyze is, from my experiences, atrociously slow ... it
*feels* faster, at least, if you do a simple vacuum first, then do the
analyze, but that might be just perception ...

Can you try just a simple 'vacuum verbose' first, without the analyze, and
see if that also takes 12hrs?

Also, what are you running this on? Memory? CPU?
