This is fairly predictable, from your configuration and from the way TCP
works.
Each realserver is checked every 20 seconds (delay_loop 20). If you stop
Apache just as the check is done successfully, requests will stall for
20 seconds until the next check (because the server isn't responding).
If a request arrives fractionally after the successful check, the server
isn't responding, then the client will retry at the following intervals:
-0.002 RS1 Check succeeds
-0.001 RS1 Apache stopped
0.000 Request arrives at RS1
3.000 retry 1 to RS1
9.000 retry 2 to RS1
19.998 RS1 Check fails
keepalived removes RS1 from pool
21.000 retry 3 sent to RS2
Note however that it may take a short period for keepalived to do the
server removal, which may overlap with retry 3 - and the next delay to
retry 4 is another 24 seconds (3, 6, 12, 24 and so on) which takes you
towards 45 seconds altogether.

And depending on the way jmeter is configured, alongside your webserver
config, this will mean a minimum of 20 seconds (and likely much longer)
delay between you dropping the webserver and the clients recovering.
It is perfectly permissible to bring down the delay_loop as much as you
or your app server can tolerate. For fast failover you need a short
delay. I would argue that for most web clients, 20 seconds is perfectly
acceptable but that can depend entirely on what you're trying to
achieve.
Try "delay_loop 1" and see what you get. What you will get, possibly,
are a lot of log entries - but you should get very fast recovery.
