Peter,
This is normal. Postgres is said to have a multi-process architecture

number of processes isn't very predictable.
you are right, it is normal.
But the number of processes is quite predictable:
on default PostgreSQL starts up with 5 processes:
one background-writer
one postmaster who masters the startup of additional progresses
one autovacuum-daemon
two processes which I have not leveled up enough to know what they are doing
And then there is one additional process for every client connection.
So that's where the extra processes are coming from - something is
holding connections open.
