Yes i meant processor cores, basically if you have extreme cases like 80 processes on 8 cores then imo its better to use less processes and queue reqests in proxy (too much content switching is bad thing for performance), but if in your case its just because php "waits for something" and not because server is overloaded it wont change much. You might want to consider checking if other http servers liek lighttpd also have that "bug"
