multithreaded (are you using mpm_worker)? Big processes don't fork quickly. Much better to use a library to do this.

I think at this point, I may have to write my own routine and have them tie into it since having them re-code their interface for multi threading might not work so well.

And I'm running Apache 1.3 only because PHP doesn't take advantage of Apache 2.0 anyway - it'll always run at 1.3...
