[users@httpd] Increased httpd threads

[Nazeer Baig Mohammed <na...@gmail.com>]

Hi,

I am new to apache. I have installed the latest apache version in my
container with the default event mpm module along with default config. As
per the documentation, I noticed that the number of threads per process is
25 however I am seeing the different numbers. As soon as the apache
started, 3 processes started as expected. Out of these 3 processes, 2 are
having 65 threads and another one is having 81 threads. Could you please
help me to clear the confusion?

[root@2d35c87a72ac /]# ps aux | grep httpd
root         1  0.0  0.2 258044 10352 ?        Ss   03:40   0:00
