Longview Apache workers and memory spike

Over the last 2 days the Apache Workers Reading, Process count and Apache memory usage as quadrupled. All other charts including request, throughput, CPU, Disk IO, DNS, Network, Overall disk usage, MySQL and all other services have not changed.

Restarted Apache, MySQL, etc. no change.

Any help on what to check for would be great?

Seems we are subject to a Slowloris Attack. Enabling and setting up mod_reqtimeout has returned things to normal. I hope this may help others.
