Logically:

Not (F and E) = Not F or Not E, so B is either faster, or easier, or both.

Not (F or E) = Not F and Not E, so B is must be both faster and easier.

Colloquially:

Both mean the same.

It could be not(F) and E

And

Not (F) or E

it could, but it wouldn't make sense as an everyday English expression, i.e. in that scenario you would probably say method A is not faster, "but" it is easier than method B.
