... decay rate in this model is same as the mean reversion rate in Vasicek model and rest all parameters being the same, the terminal distributions using both these models will be the same. In case the time dependent drift in this distribution is same as average interest rate ...

Volatility levels will be high when interest rates are very high since we expect large changes when prevailing market interest rates are high whereas we expect low volatility levels when prevailing markets rats are low. As interest rates approach zero, volatility will sharply ...
