Depends if you installed the httpd with modules like mod_perl, mod_ssl, etc.
>From experience, adding in mysql and xml support in addition to the above
modules can result in higher process loads. If you need the modules, be
prepared for the CPU resources to get eaten up. As for the child processes,
if you are running lot of web services, it might be best to increase these
or risk running into longer wait times for data updates, etc.
You might also consider putting a different 'nice' on the httpd process
overall as well.
