Star by checking your session to make sure it's not being blocked. You can run SQL profiler from any other PC than the SQL Server as profiler consumes a lot of resources.
Profiler will show you everything that is running on the server while your session is running too.
Also, check you indexes. make sure they are not fragmented and you have all the expected indexes.

Sorry, I hit submit to fast. To check if your session is be blocked you can run sp_who2 or check out the FAQ section here for sp_who3 which has more information than sp_who2.

How exactly is SQL Compare going to help the op deal with a performance issue?
In additional the places that Paul has pointed you towards, take a look at your memory usage on the server, SQL may be taking all the RAM. By default SQL will take all the memory on the server. You may need to scale it back a little bit to ensure that there is enough ram for the OS. If Windows doesn't have enough memory, everything will slow down.
How big is the database, how much RAM do you have in the system? How long does the batch job take, and what is it doing, how many rows is it touching, etc? Have you checked the execution plan(s) of the batch job's queries to make sure that everything is indexed correctly?
