You're following the same philosophy as the bubble sort, which is very, very, very slow. Have you tried this?:

• Sort your unordered array with quicksort. Quicksort is much faster than bubble sort (I know, you are not sorting, but the algorithm you follow is almost the same as bubble sort to traverse the array).
• Then start removing duplicates (repeated values will be next to each other). In a for loop you could have two indices: source and destination. (On each loop you copy source to destination unless they are the same, and increment both by 1). Every time you find a duplicate you increment source (and don't perform the copy).
