This is pretty normal. The httpd.conf file determines how many
processes will be started at system startup, and the minimum and maximum
number of "spare" processes to leave running (if there aren't enough, it
spawns more; if there are too many, it kills some). I believe it's done
this way because each server process only serves one user at a time, but
I don't know that for sure.

I'm not as familiar with these, but I'd expect the reason is the same.
