This looks at the effect of removing the redundancy from pp before using the 
complement mechanism 

pp=Table[Random[Integer,{1,1000}],{1000}];

r=Range[1000];

Timing[Length[c1=
      Complement[r,pp]]]

{0.000913 Second,387}

Timing[Length[c2=
      Select[r,!MemberQ[pp,#]&]]]

{0.395094 Second,387}

Timing[Length[c3=
      Cases[r,_?(!MemberQ[pp,#]&)]]]

{0.400645 Second,387}

Timing[Length[c4=
      DeleteCases[r,_?(MemberQ[pp,#]&)]]]

{0.435794 Second,387}

With Complement, removing the redundancy in pp first is detrimental to the 
overall timing

Timing[p=Union[pp];Length[c5=
      Complement[r,pp]]]

{0.00131 Second,387}

However, the alternatives show a net improvement

Timing[p=Union[pp];Length[c6=
      Select[r,!MemberQ[p,#]&]]]

{0.261277 Second,387}

Timing[p=Union[pp];Length[c7=
      Cases[r,_?(!MemberQ[p,#]&)]]]

{0.267076 Second,387}

Timing[p=Union[pp];Length[c8=
      DeleteCases[r,_?(MemberQ[p,#]&)]]]

{0.261073 Second,387}

c1==c2==c3==c4==c5==c6==c7==c8

True
