David,
  I'm sorry that I've taken too long to reply, hopefully, it was not
too much of a problem.  When you already have users on a destination
server it is no longer necessary to re-apply them, they are already
there.  I've seen "slow" Databases but that is generally an
architecture problem.  That is, Your HDD may be too slow, on the
server w/ the slowest response.

If you're running all of this on the same server but the last version
of the DB is slow then I would take a look at the physical
fragmentations, stop the service if you are able to (non-production
servers) and run the Defrag utility in windows, this usually will do
the trick.  Other problems for very slow db response times can be
because you have the page file on the same disk as the database, or
you do not have enough ram, and the results you are expecting are too
large.
