If you want something less complex than Leonid's code, here are two
simple speedups for the IntervalMemberQ approach.  First, it seems
to run a little faster with integer limits than with real limits.

datalist = Table[Random[Integer,11*^5],{m = 1*^6}];
targetlist = Table[{n,n+20},{n,100,m,50}];

Block[{realreject = Interval@@({.5,-.5}+#&)/@targetlist},
Select[datalist,!IntervalMemberQ[realreject,#]&]] //Length //Timing

{9.75 Second, 654464}

Block[{integereject = Interval@@({1,-1}+#&)/@targetlist},
Select[datalist,!IntervalMemberQ[integereject,#]&]] //Length //Timing

{8.69 Second, 654464}

Second, if you expect to keep more items than you drop then
it's probably faster to look for the donuts than the holes.

Block[{keep = Interval@@Partition[Join[{Min[datalist,targetlist]-1},
              Flatten@targetlist,{Max[datalist,targetlist]+1}], 2]},
Select[datalist,IntervalMemberQ[keep,#]&]] //Length //Timing

{7.47 Second, 654464}
