mod_status reports too much CPU when using worker mpm

           Summary: mod_status reports too much CPU when using worker mpm
           Product: Apache httpd-2.0
           Version: 2.0.47
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: Other
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Minor
          Priority: Other
         Component: mod_status
        AssignedTo: bugs@httpd.apache.org
        ReportedBy: drees@greenhydrant.com


When looking at /server-status, it is reporting about 10 times too much CPU time
when compared to the prefork MPM.  This is on SGI IRIX 6.5.20m compiled with the
following flags and the SGI MIPsPro compiler:

./configure --enable-ssl=static --enable-deflate --enable-mods-shared=most
--with-ssl=/usr/local/ssl --with-devrandom --with-mpm=worker

Here's the relevant output from mod_status when compiled without --with-mpm=worker:

Total accesses: 41 - Total Traffic: 1.9 MB
CPU Usage: u6 s.26 cu0 cs0 - 29.8% CPU load
1.95 requests/sec - 94.1 kB/second - 48.2 kB/request
1 requests currently being processed, 7 idle workers

And with it:

Total accesses: 41 - Total Traffic: 1.9 MB
CPU Usage: u67.21 s3.64 cu0 cs0 - 221% CPU load
1.28 requests/sec - 61.8 kB/second - 48.2 kB/request
1 requests currently being processed, 49 idle workers

With a bit of stress testing with multiple clients, I can get the CPU load
reported to be on the order of 2-4000%, the machine only has 2 CPUs.

The requests on each run was generated from a fresh start over SSL and using the
requests.  mod_jk 1.2.5 is also loaded into the server.
