When methyl iodide at 0.I M concentration is allowed to react with sodium ethoxide at 0.1 M

Question:

When methyl iodide at 0.I M concentration is allowed to react with sodium ethoxide at 0.1 M concentration in ethanol solution, the product ethyl methyl ether is obtained in good yield. Explain why the reaction is over much more quickly, but about the same yield of the ether is obtained, when the reaction is run with an excess (0.5 M) of sodium ethoxide.
