Are all these process burning CPU? Esp. the first in each "pair" should be doing next to nothing but sleeping, probably blocked in a select or something like that, waiting for the second process to finish. And the second process should also be mostly sleeping/blocked in things like connect/select/read/write calls. I'd try using "strace" to see what your processes are doing instead, or why they keep waking up.
