We need more details: are you running any other projects? What are the
time stats and DCFs for the two hosts? Both on the same website
preferences, or using a local override?

Actually, we need to know the CPU/memory specs on the two systems
and what percentage of utilization is configured.

I>m sure any P4-based laptop will run circles around any of the
200MHz Pentium Classic doorstops I have sitting around; is the OPs
hardware similarly disparate in capabilities?

You can get the time stats from each host>s Computer Summary page, near
the bottom: the figures shown for "% of time BOINC client is running",
"While BOINC running, % of time work is allowed", "Average CPU
efficiency", and "Result duration correction factor" (DCF). You can also
find them in your local client_state.xml files, but the website is
probably more convenient.
