my $0.02:
According to Kabir, Mohammed J., Apache Server Administrator's
Handbook, IDG Books, pp.68-69, "Apache uses one child server for each
request..." The MaxClients directive limits the number of simultaneous
requests that Apache can service.
The MaxRequestsPerChild: "Apache launches a child server process
to service a request, however, a child server can process multiple
requests. The number of requests a child server can process is limited
by the MaxRequestsPerChild directive. After servicing the maximum number
of requests, the child process terminates.
If the MaxRequestsPerChild is 0 (zero) then the process will
never expire. If you suspect there are libraries on your operating
system that have memory-leaking code, you may want to set this directive
to a non-zero value. This enables you to define a life cycle for a child
process, and therefore reduces the chances of a process consuming leaked
memory and slowly eating up all available memory. It also provides you
with a small load average number for your system, since the
Apache-related load is reduced as your Web server becomes less busy".
The are other directives related with performance and resources,
but I think the above are more closely related with your question.
