This is the expected behavior, as SlowLoris Attacks work like that only, they will send bulk request then wait for some time when server is almost going to close the connection for no activity then it will send some more request to tell the server to wait and not to close the connection yet.
SlowLoris Attack is much powerful on servers which use Apache because for every new request Apache opens a new thread on the server, hence more the requests more the threads will be opened on the server eventually crashing the server because of too many threads.
You can see how Slowloris Attacks Work in detail to get a better understanding of it.
