Speed factor determines at what stage in a round a character makes his attacks.
In pnp you roll a 10 side dice, add your speed factor then take away dex bonuses and whoever gets the lowest goes first. You don't get extra attacks if your speed factor is low.
the lower the speed factor the better
You are probably half right about two weapon style doing more damage than two handed weapon style damage.
Why?
You are assuming you hit with both the weapons you are dual wielding this is not necessarily always the case. Especially for non fighter classes- one weapon slot in dual wielding and one in your chosen weapons-you're going to miss a hell of a lot with both weapons. The same character wielding a 2h weapon stands a far better chance of hitting and doing damage because he doesn't get the negative bonuses.
The only time your argument stands up properly is when you are talking about good fighters with lots of weapon proficiencies in dual wielding (has to be three) and the in weapon(s) they are going to dual wield.
Dual wielding fighters are very tough I just wouldn;t recommend it for other classes-except maybe the swashbuckler.
