If you are getting paid for working 8 hours, you should work 8 hours.... not spend part of the time socializing on the phone with your buddies.... while still getting paid to work.
Why?
What incentive does she have? She is already doing more than a co-worker. Her only incentive it so work exactly as hard as she needs to, which in this case sounds like only as fast as the slower employee.

The employer's incentive is to get as much work from his employees for as low a cost.

While I'm sure the employer would like like the fast employee to work as hard as she can, the fact that she already does more than the struggler should mean he should replace the struggler, not penalize the potentially better employee.
