Doubling the service rate (µ) in an M/M/1 queue decreases the average wait time in the system (W) more significantly than just cutting it in half, because W is inversely proportional to the difference between the service rate and the arrival rate (λ), not directly proportional to the service rate alone.

For an M/M/1 Queuing System,if the Service Rate,µ,is Doubled,the Average
