Ah, but her situation sounds more like the opposite of yours. It sounds like the bike may be a bit too long - the good thing is that she recognized it quickly. I used to ride a bike that was overly long and I had the same problem without knowing it. When I moved to a shorter top tube I found that instantly I was able to go about 2-3 mph faster (and no more knee troubles), just because I was using the muscles in my legs better. This was a suprise to me though.

I agree with the others, go get a good fit done. If the size isn't too far off of what you need a few adjustments may put you to rights.
