I do not understand
I assumed that the only difference between the fast computer and the slow
computer is that the program in the slower computer does the same actions slower
and all you have to do is to give the slower computer more time.

Do you say that the program does not do the same actions in the slower and the
faster computer and if it does not what is the reason?
