What version of mod_fastcgi do you use? I recommend using:
http://www.fastcgi.com/dist/mod_fastcgi-SNAP-0404142202.tar.gz

I have never had problems like this. Are you using any special arguments 
to FastCgiConfig?
There are a number of options there that control the startup and the 
termination of the dynamic processes.
See here: 
http://www.fastcgi.com/mod_fastcgi/docs/mod_fastcgi.html#FastCgiConfig
The only option I use is "-idle-timeout 300" because some of my 
applications take longer than the
default timeout to come back.


Make also sure you also read about the PHP FCGI bug:
http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=36158

The patched version of php and SNAP-0404142202 work perfectly for me on 
a production
server with <= 10 virtual hosts.
