I have some problems with my website configuration (apache2 on gentoo)
I have too many processes launched by the apache's user, here an example:

Here is my vhost files for this website :
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerAdmin [email protected]
DocumentRoot /home/XYZ/www
SuexecUserGroup usersite users
ServerName eleves.monsite.fr
CustomLog logs/eleves.monsite.fr-access_log combined
ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ /home/monsite/cgi-bin/
AddHandler x-httpd-php5 .php
</VirtualHost>
I am on a gentoo distrib, gentoo ovh2 release and I'm not a pro with this...
I tried to modify apache's configuration (start servers / timeout etc...) but I don't know which value i can put there.

Others-things , my php version :
PHP 5.2.13-pl1-gentoo (cgi) (built: Feb 11 2011 11:02:12)
Copyright (c) 1997-2010 The PHP Group
Zend Engine v2.2.0, Copyright (c) 1998-2010 Zend Technologies
If someone can explain me the difference between CGI/CLI php installation package .. :s This problems happened only on 1 website hosted by my server, other websites are OK. The site which encounters this issue lags really really very much.
