getting rid of duplicates too:
select username
from table
where username != ''
and username not like 'deleted%'
and username not in (select username from other_table)
group by username
having count(*) > 1;
I've never used mysql, but in other RDBMS systems I would check that enough memory has been assigned to buffer cache, sort area, hash sort area, etc. And by "enough", I mean "lots".
Joining two 34M rows on a decent enough server shouldn't take long. Nested iterations over 2 large tables does take a long time.
Having indexes on username on both tables would help a lot too

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).

or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
