The simplest approach would be to just hack the php code that starts N 
children processes and somehow control that N, here is an example [1]. There 
is a more complicated approach, that of php-fpm, it can do a lot more than 
just launch N processes. What it still cannot do (as of my knowledge, but that 
might have changed) is to dynamically control that N number. If you give them 
some money, maybe they will fix that part soon.
