Multiple instances of the services are seen while doing ps -ux why.

Hi everyone,
I have a few services to start for an installtion but when I start them I see that instead of just one instance there are many instances created. I wanted to know is this going to slow down the linux and why is it taking place and how to get just one instance. This is how it works.

[dam1@atlas bin]$ ps -ux

Is this a multithreaded application? If so, then its normal for them to start more than one instance (like apache).
