Its the designed idle=N behaviour which does that, the other parameters are just limits bounding where the idle/standby initializer starts and stops having effect. Just set idle=100 and see how much meaningless it is. It was created for a specific purpose, which it meets quite well. Its documented as being what it is: the *minimum* amount of idle processes to have running at any one time. And thats how it operates. The helper itself is free to exit early if it needs to. Just not too often or in big batches. If you look at the numbers of objects requested when loading a page like Facebook (240 objects) or CNN (170 objects) you will see that 60 is not that large a number of helpers anyway. The proxy can go from no traffic to 60 concurrent requests in less than a second *at any time*.
