What makes Ethereum blockchain transactions be processed fast or slow? An empirical study.

The Ethereum platform allows developers to implement and deploy applications called ÐApps onto the blockchain for public use through the use of smart contracts. To execute code within a smart contract, a paid transaction must be issued towards one of the functions that are exposed in the interface of a contract. However, such a transaction is only processed once one of the miners in the peer-to-peer network selects it, adds it to a block, and appends that block to the blockchain This creates a delay between transaction submission and code execution.
