I assume this is due a database timeout?
any hint how to correctly convert all users?

edit_ after hitting the button several times I am up to 21.000 users now, let's see how that goes.

I'm glad you got the character issue worked out.

As for the user sync, it is a pretty heavy process. I tested on a site with 15k users and it took about 20 minutes. However, i did set it up so that you can re run it like you did.
The way it works is first going through all WP users and seeing if there is a match in vb. For each match, it syncs them. Then it goes through all of the vb users that were not synced and looks for a a match in WP and syncs the ones that it finds.
Then it goes through all of the WP users that were not matched and created a vb user for them and syncs it.
Then it goes through all of the vb users that didn't have a match and does the same (creates a wp user, and syncs it)
If the script times out, it will pick up where it left off next time you run it as it ignores users that are already synced. But it will take longer with each pass.
If you have a lot of vb users, the query that gets unsynced users does take a long time.
I plan on optimizing this as soon as I get some of the more critical issues worked out.
