Try:
select users."User-Name", ss."Date", ss."Time" from users left outer
join (
select distinct on ("User-Name") "User-Name", "Date", "Time" order by
1, 2 DESC, 3 DESC) as ss
on ( users."User-Name" = ss."User-Name")
order by 1;
It help if yo uhave an index on logs( "User-Name", "Date" desc, "Time"
desc).

PS Can't you convert "Date" || "Time" to timestamp?
