Directadmin launches 20+ processes on every page load

It seems that every time you load any page of the DA control panel, anywhere from 10 to 20 new "directadmin" processes get launched.

I just wanted to make sure this is normal because I actually don't see this behavior on my server with Debian 10, but I do see it on my servers with Ubuntu 20.04 and AlmaLinux 8.4.

I noticed this the other day when I launched "screen" on my newly rebooted Almalinux server and found the PID was in the 400000's. I'm no linux expert so I am not quite sure what will happen when the server reaches the max PID of "4194304" but at this rate I will reach that limit in a few days.

To reproduce, simply terminal into your server and run the TOP command and sort by PID, newest first. Then log into your DA control panel. You will see that every page load launches 10-20 new "directadmin" processes. Again, I just want to make sure this was expected behavior.

NOTE: I don't see this behavior on Debian 10. Only on Ubuntu 20.04 and AlmaLinux 8.4 thus far.
