I have to computers pc1=duron 1.3 ghz with 1 gig of ram pc2=intel 2.6 ghz 
with 512 megs of ram it took pc1 22 hrs to complete a unit and pc2 18 hrs to 
complete a unit. Shouldn't pc2 do a unit twice as fast as pc1?

Depends upon more than just clock speed. Is the 2.6 a Celeron, while the
1.3 is a true P4 (or even a P3, which outperformed the equal-clock-rate
P4 chips)? How much L2 cache is in each system? What motherboards are in
the systems? Cheap motherboads can run 30-40% slower than a good one with
identical CPUs in the. Memory type/speed and FSB also affect performance.

Windows is like SUVs; a bad idea, poorly implemented, unsafe, with a
lot of inept users, but a fact of life we have to put up with.
