Too Many Apache ?

Hi,

In my server ps -aux shows more than 80 instances of httpd process.

# ps -aux|grep apache2|wc -l
140

# uptime
14:25:16 up 3:47, 1 user, load average: 0.91, 2.26, 1.94

# free -m
total used free shared buffers cached
Mem: 439 397 41 0 23 106
-/+ buffers/cache: 267 172
Swap: 1027 43 983
I have checked few other servers, found they have around 10 httpd processes.

Why this server have too many httpd process running ?

This server is with out any control panel, Apache is v2.
