  • Thanks, I'll try your suggestion and take a look at KeepaliveTimeout too. I still want to know the relation between the apache "servers" (ServerLimit) and the processes shown in top -- I mean, there were 20+ apache processes in top but it was configured to spawn 10 servers max.

  • I see you're using mod_perl which may be responsible. The status page shows 10 processes, so all the others are likely different parts of Apache and not handling requests directly. Commented May 13, 2014 at 12:48
