- 2The system became faster, so it needs fewer requests
- 3The load tool stopped sending new requests
Show the answer
Correct answer: The system reached saturation: requests now queue up
Explanation
After the knee point, extra requests can't be served faster, so they wait in queues. Latency grows while throughput stays flat or even drops.
