Check to see if 'MaxRequestsPerChild' is set to a number. I have a Production server in Win2K and was trying to find a way to kill zombie processes and I enabled the MaxRequestsPerChild to 500(or some number), It caused the server to cycle after the 500 requests. The default value for mpm_netware and mpm_winnt is 0. If MaxRequestsPerChild is 0, then the process will never expire. There was a significant delay when it was cycling.
