Insert into ... select ...

would be a fast way but you say there is "clean data" process. Without knowing the details it is like shooting in dark. If it is something you can do with a where clause then you are done with an SQL. I would do the process locally if it is not something like SQL server (with SQL server it would be fast enouhg you wouldn't ask this question I think, but you are using scan...endscan which maybe the reason to be slow).
