Apache2 and resource consumption, what is the reason?

Question

Apache HTTP Server

Hello gentlemen!
I have a small dev server with a local i5 on board and 4 gigabytes of RAM. The server is brought out into the world, visible from the outside, located behind the router.
There are 4 sites on WordPress, which, God forbid, open locally 20-30 times a day (development is underway).
Climbed into the top - and there:

Does Mr. Apache eat a lot, with 20-30 hits and 1-2 local hosts? How to reduce the amount of memory consumed?
Or is it_norma_malysheva.zhopeg?

Answer 1

Climbed into the top and saw a pack of Apaches doing nothing.
What's next?
If annoit, then twist StartServers and MaxSpareServers. Well, or depending on the mode in which Apache works, find the appropriate section in the config (they are there 3 in a row, you can find them by MaxSpareServers)

Answer 2

yes everything is fine.
