Divakar,

- What version of Apache are you running?
- What are your settings for "KeepAlive" and "KeepAliveTimeout" ? Perhaps
each of your client requests is hogging server connection for too long,
forcing the server to spawn additional processes to fulfill new requests
- What are your settings for MinSpareServers and MaxSpareServers? The server
will make sure to keep those many spare processes idle at all times,
creating new ones as and when needed.

regards,
Tony
