You've not detailed your load. I assume it consists of lots of small files being transferred over 10 apache processes? I also assume you max out your system using apachebench?
In general, Linux systems are not maxed out as they will disappoint that way (like any system running with id=0).
So yes, what you do is a 'rare load' as anybody trying to do this will disappoint his users.
And any tweak you make to the scheduler this way is bound to affect another load.
