From the manual:

If Hyper-Threading is enabled, the processor is listed twice.

Furthermore, regarding the slowness of your PC, check out one or both of
the following sites:

Major causes of lagging are malware, not enough memory/too many apps
running, and failure to clear always temp files (which should often be
followed by defragmenting the hard drive).

If you have no joy using the above two Web pages, post back with as much
information as possible on your PC (specs, amount of free space, etc.).
