Companions pull out a nice sword for close combat. What you want to do is have them charge with a normal attack. Then once they make contact you can either have them backup and make another charge or you can hit the alt key and mouse click at the same time to activate their second attack. Don't just have them sit there and use their primary attack. If they are fighting a weak infantry force then it might not matter, but they are a lot more effective against infantry with their secondary attack.
Primary attack is best used for running down routing units or breaking into their formation.
