[mod_python] PythonAutoReload trouble shooting

Hi, I have set PythonAutoReload to Off in my config file

yet in my apache error log I keep seeing the

[notice] mod_python: (Re)importing module '<<module name here>>'

where <<module name here>> is my module over and over again each time
I click on a link

is this because apache is forking up processes each time?

If so, do I have any control over how many process get forked?

thanks
