The size of apache processes is telling me you're using PHP or some 
other heavy apache module. If so, you can switch to using PHP as FastCGI 
responder via mod_fcgid. The benefits are that you'll get only a few 
number of large php-cgi processes (configurable, usually around 10), and 
the rest will be lighter httpd processes for serving static content.

BUT, if something else changed when you switched to the new apache (e.g. 
PHP version, your web applications), it may not be apache's fault.
