php_sapi_name: apache2handler
Server MPM: prefork
I tried
StartServers 20
MinSpareServers 20
MaxSpareServers 20
And after restarting apache still have the issue but only after waiting
about a minute between 2 tries.
Then I did a "ps -ef | grep apache" and I discovered that I have only 11
apache processes running !
So it seems that MinSpareServers and StartServers are ignored and the
problem is really a child spin up issue.
