You could just remove the tweaking done with GDAL_CACHEMAX and -wm and leave
them to their default values. In my experience, a so big value for GDAL_CACHEMAX
is of no use (no need to use more than 500 MB), and when merging a lot of small
rasters into a big one, a high value for -wm can severely decrease performance
(see the link I posted yesterday). If all your tiles are of the same resolution,
you could also remove -r bilinear.

Or if your tiles are in the same projection, just use gdalbuildvrt to create a
virtual mosaic. That should take only a few seconds to run.
