If there are 5 idle threads (e.g. StartServers=MinSpareThreads=5 with ThreadsPerChild=1), when 6 connections/requests arrive and are being handled then there is no idle thread anymore, so httpd has to make 5 new idle threads available (actually 5 children processes with ThreadsPerChild=1) to honor MinSpareThreads=5.
