The issue is that the browser is making several simultaneous connections 
to your System i.

Apache will certainly re-use the existing job with the same userid if it 
can -- but if the existing job is busy, then it will start up a new job 
to let two concurrent requests to be made from the browser.  It's common 
for a browser to make many simultaneous requests -- for example, if it's 
 showing a page with 10 images, the browser would typically attempt to 
download all 10 images at once so that it can display them all at about 
the same time.

So if that happens, you'd end up with 10 jobs for the userid, since it 
needs separate jobs to handle each request.

I don't know of any way to "solve" this problem.  Why would you want to? 
 Is it causing a problem?
