Workload Profile. The performance of the system is dependent on how the load is delivered to the system. For example it is easier to achieve faster response times for a system that receive an regular arrival of work throughout the day compared to one that receive burst of traffic.
The January 17 2002 eruption of Nyiragongo volcano started suddenly at 8:25 local time. The eruption effectively involved a reopening and extension of the 1977 fault system and a renewed drainage of the lava lake, followed by the eruption of some magma from a deeper source.
Once the lava flows became established and good channels developed, the lava in the channels was going at more like 60 km/hour! On January 10,1977, a lava lake at Nyiragongo drained in less than one hour. The lava erupted from fissures on the flank of the volcano and moved at speeds up to 40 miles per hour (60 km/hr). About 70 people were killed.
