I've wondered about this as well. I really like the cleanup handler,
and thought that in general it would be better to tie up the httpd
process and let apache decide when a new process is needed rather than
always forking.
For the most part I use the cleanup handlers to handle something that
takes alot of time, but doesn't happen very often. If I had something
that took alot of time every time someone hit a page I still don't
think I'd fork, instead I'd pass off the information to another
process and let that process run through the data asynchronously like
a spooler...
