Supposed to be 110 php processes?

[ghuntress]

Just installed a fresh 2.0-RELEASE, and noticed a surprisingly high memory utilization.  Dropped down to console… and found 110 php processes open!  A killall php and a "Restart webConfigurator" later, and 110 php processes are back!  Is this normal/intended?  Only package installed is snort (and it's currently not started)

[2.0-RELEASE][root@pfsense-test.gl.ciw.edu]/root(1): ps ax | grep /usr/local/bin/php | grep -v grep | wc -l
    110

You have a buggy package of some sort installed, shouldn't be any more than 5-10 tops depending on what you're running.

You may have set "Max Processes" under System > Advanced, it grows exponentially as it increases the number of GUI processes and allowed PHP children. If you put in >10, you'd end up with >100 PHP processes.
