Apache on VMS starts multiple processes. But they should
be reusable (otherwise it would be CGI reimplemented). The
client test app use 20 threads, so Apache should
only need to start 20 child processes and let them
process requests. So even though process creation indeed
is expensive on VMS, then it should not kill performance
like what I see.
