Here's that avoids the inner loop (untested):

    groups = search(:groups)
    users = search(:users)
    deleted_users = search(:deleted_users)

    deleted_user_ids = deleted_users.inject({}) { |ids, u|
ids[u['id']] = 1; ids }
    # remove deleted users from the users array so we don't recreate them
    users.delete_if { |user| deleted_user_ids.has_key(user['id']) }
