What you're seeing is a very common phenomenon.

Tools like ab always try to load the target server to its extreme
throughput, i.e., the 1200 req/sec you're seeing is already the
throughput limit for that service in your server. Because you're
already at the throughput limit, you have to sacrifice response
latency for higher concurrency level otherwise you'll just have much
higher throughput which is impossible (remember you're already on the
limit? ;)).
