An execution of the program depends on the following factors:
- CPU utilization.
- I/O bound - Disk reading.
- Overhead due to many function calls. There are many times when the programs use calling functions and recursive functions.
- The complexity of the machine language used in the program. C language executes quicker compared to complex languages like Python.
- Ability to Parallel Program and synchronization.
- Widespread disk layout
- Quick troubleshooting.

While a system's speed varies with its clock rate, memory attributes, cores of the processor, Ram Size and etc.
So, with an increase in the speed of the processor by 30%, there is an increase but not exactly 30%.
This is because the cores of the processor and other memory attributes remain the same.

To explain this in simpler terms, let us take a bus traveling from points A to B in 100 seconds.
Let's assume this happens when the bus travels at 30m/s.
Now, if the speed is increased to 39 m/s, the rate at which the people will be improved but other crucial factors like the capacity of the bus, various places at which it has to stop and fatigue on the engine etc remain the same.
