Overriding the "process priority" on the laptop improved the runtime from 27min to 11min.
If I understand this correctly... EnergyPlus uses OpenMP to run some calculations with more than 1 thread. If the CPU driver does not recognise the process correctly then it does not provide access to more threads. Overriding the process priority to High forces the CPU to give access to more threads.
