Because apache spawns by default a number of child processes listening for requests in order to provide quicker responses to it's connections. You can set the number of processes to be spawned by default, and the maximum number of apache's you want to be spawned under heavy www load, in the apache config file. Look for the MinSpareServers and MaxSpareServers directives. -- Giorgos Keramidas, "What we have to learn to do, we learn by doing."
