That depends. Apache 1.3 manages a set of forked worker processes to
handle requests. This is also true for some of the MPM's in Apache 2.0
(see eg the "prefork" MPM). The other MPM's in Apache 2.0 handle requests
with worker threads, though the number of processes used varies from one
MPM to another.
