Answer 1

"a factor of tens"是什麼意思?? -----
解答版主問題之前先看朗文(Longman)英英字典對"by a factor of"的解釋：
3
by a factor of five/ten etc
if something increases or decreases by a factor of five, ten etc, it increases or decreases by five times, ten times etc （如某事物以"5或10等等的因數增減就是以5倍或10倍的倍數增減）
故，版主提問的
"it decreased the end-user wait time, typically by a factor of tens."意思就是："它減少終端用戶等待的時間，基本上減少幅度都以數十倍計"．
by a factor of ten(s)＂以(數)十倍計
by a factor of hundred(s)：以(數)百倍計
