I recommend you to read through the configuration files (httpd.conf,
access.conf
and srm.conf) as a first step. This is usually very enlightening.

Here you can se variables like "StartServers", "MinSpareServers" and
"MaxSpareServers" that controls the number of processes.

B.t.w. one other thing you will notice is how much Apache can do and
how little of it you understand from the config files  ;-).
