I suspect PHP isn't ending properly leaving the sub-processes started by each connection. If you're using PHP 5.4 you might want to back down to the latest 5.3 version. Researching apache "-DFOREGROUND" I find recommendations not to use it but to use -DNO_DAEMONIZE instead. You might want to check the apache config files to see what "<IfDefine> FOREGROUND" is actually doing.
