Bug Description

I'm running ubuntu server 11.10 in a kvm environmnet as a production server for php applications.
How ever, my apache installation is very standard, except for virtual hosts of course.

These are apache2.conf vbles:

Timeout 2
KeepAlive On
MaxKeepAliveRequests 100
KeepAliveTimeout 2

<IfModule mpm_prefork_module>
    StartServers 5
    MinSpareServers 5
    MaxSpareServers 15
    ServerLimit 256
    MaxClients 256
    #50
    MaxRequestsPerChild 1000
</IfModule>

When Internet http clients are sending requests every single apache2 process almost immediately consumes 100% cpu until the request is done and falls back to < 1% then. The access logs don't show anything except my requests. Error log is empty.

$ sudo lsb_release -rd

We are sorry, but it looks like this bug fell through the cracks and was forgotten. Since Ubuntu 11.10 is no longer supported, I'm going to mark this issue as "won't fix".

If it's still happening in a supported version of Ubuntu, then please reopen this bug stating the new information. Thanks.
