Tracking down apache2 processes, help?

Hi.

I just viewed the output of the 'top' command on my server and found 3 apache2 processes have been running quite a while and consuming alot of CPU cycles.

16705 www-data 20 0 24484 18m 5980 R 32.7 2.5 49:17.16 apache2
19724 www-data 14 0 24708 19m 6248 R 30.4 2.5 23:23.42 apache2
25689 www-data 14 0 23636 18m 6204 R 30.0 2.4 19:30.73 apache2

How can I figure out what these are from? I was thinking about killing them, but thought I'd get some feedback first.
