Hmmmmm "...doubled the time it takes for the disease to progress..." Does that mean it slowed by double or sped up by double?

Here's a helpful anology: You're waiting in line at a Wal Mart checkout. There are two old ladies with change purses out, and 3 fat ladies with food stamps and an assortment of old gift cards in their hands. The prognosis is that it will serve to double the time it takes you to progress in the line.

To further the analogy:

When all five decide to pay by Check, that’s the Gov’t getting involved.
