That's a lot of processes! I'm guessing they're actually threads rather than processes, but the "ps" listing in Xymon is showing the threads separately. Do all of the httpd processes have the same process ID?
You might be able to have the threads collapsed into a single line in the process listing by adjusting the "ps" command line on your client. What OS are you running? On Linux, the "-T" switch enables displaying of separate threads, so if that's in your Xymon client settings, you would want to remove that.
You can also increase the limit for client messages by adjusting MAXMSG_CLIENT in xymonserver.cfg. But better to reduce the message size than increase the limit, if you're able to.
