The Fixed Load Component does maintain a constant load on the server, if we define load as number of simultaneous requests. As a consequence, the Fixed Load Generator will trigger requests more frequently if the server can handle them fast (and vice versa).
It seems that what you really want to use is one of the other components, for example the Fixed Rate Generator, which will trigger X number of requests per second/minute no matter what.
Read more on these generators and the concept of load generation here:

Hope this answers your concerns
