I managed to resolve this issue. For anyone encountering this in the future, within the configuration web interface for the VLP-16 there is a parameter called FOV Start
which allows you to crop the data being sent between two angles. If you are using this parameter there seems to be either a bug, or performance issue where it drastically drops the frequency. Restoring this to the default 0 to 359 range allowed me to attain the desired 10hz frequency.
The velodyne ros package has a few parameters that allow you to crop the range of the data within the node itself without impacting negatively on frequency performance.
