Worker MPM will *never* spawn more than StartServers children.

According to the docs at
<http://httpd.apache.org/docs/current/mod/mpm_common.html#startservers>
it will.

The StartServers directive sets the number of child server processes created on startup. As the number of processes is dynamically controlled depending on the load, there is usually little reason to adjust this parameter.

The default value differs from MPM to MPM. For worker the default is StartServers 3. For prefork defaults to 5 and for mpmt_os2 to 2.

The *ServerLimit* directive oth puts a hard limit on the numkber of children Apache can start.

For the worker MPM, this directive [ServerLimit] in combination with ThreadLimit sets the maximum configured value for MaxClients for the lifetime of the Apache process. Any attempts to change this directive during a restart will be ignored, but MaxClients can be modified during a restart.
