It says nothing about how long it takes to process a query (service time); it tells you on average how often queries come in (arrival rate). If the service time is such that an arriving query is finished before the next one arrives, you aren't in terrible shape as far as the queue of waiting queries goes. If queries arrive while the previous query is still being served, then all is lost because the queue will grow to infinity.
That's a very simplistic overview, there's an entire branch of statistics devoted to this sort of thing.
