That's true for data, but not for code. That's also an unusual apache
configuration. I've never known anyone that didn't start just one, and
let it start the others, at least since they added virtual server
support.

At this point, I don't know enough about shared libraries on FBSD. Is
the data segment shared COW amongst all the processes that are using
it, or does each process get one of it's own?

	Thanx,
