Use mod_fastcgi instead.  Then you'll have to cope just with one
growing process. :-)

If you use mod_perl and the httpd children die too quickly (after too
few process requests), then you incur the horrendous RT loading
overhead on every second ticket or so.  This can kill your performance
much more thoroughly than any other way (with the notable exception of
an un-VACUUM-ed PostgreSQL database, of course).
