httpsd using lots of CPU

The server that hosts my site has a httpsd process running that seems to be the one using the most CPU most of the time.

Occasionally httpd will go up to 99% and increase the load average number.

The server's running Apache 2.0.40, MySQL 3.23.58 and PHP 4.2.2.

load average: 1.41, 2.22, 2.61

PID USER PRI NI SIZE RSS SHARE STAT %CPU %MEM TIME CPU COMMAND

1391 root 9 0 3212 2764 1980 S 58.1 0.5 6236m 0 httpsd
14090 mysql 9 0 29844 28M 1620 S 3.3 5.6 25:41 0 mysqld
1783 root 9 0 5640 4912 1968 S 1.1 0.9 2:03 0 httpd


Is this normal?


Thanks.
