That should still be able to be handled pretty easily with SQL. You
got me interested so I created a test DB formatted like you said
(first_name, last_name) and this query works fine. Only spits out the
dupes (when first and last names are the same, if one of the two is
different it doesn't show up):

SELECT * FROM contactImport WHERE first_name IN (SELECT first_name
FROM contact) AND last_name in (SELECT last_name FROM contact)

b logica's way would work too, so you could just check whatever is
faster. I don't have 30,000 records to test that out on :P.
