This is perfectly normal. httpd and httpsd always fork off to handle
multiple simultaneous requests.
All memory being used is normal too - Linux handles memory very
efficiently by automatically using all unused memory for disk caching etc.
Type free and look at the "-/+ buffers/cache" line.

Adding more swap space might be an interim solution if you're really short
on memory (which I doubt - www.microsoft.eu.org is perfectly happy with
its 32 MB RAM, and it's just the highest-traffic server among the 24
domains the machine is serving.)
