I'm almost certain Apache spawns instances as needed.
If they are all active at the same time you will need at least
that many threads anyway and I don't think processes
are really much more expensive than threads usually.
But I'm not an expert on virtual hosting or apache or
even thread/process internals.

However when I do a "ps -aef" on my shared server
(http://www.xfeedme.com) I only see the apache
instances that are active, and not the 50 dormant
ones, if I recall.
