It does. Apache is strictly one process per connection, varnish handles hundreds, thousands or even tens of thousands of connections with just one process so the overhead is minimal.

Apache has not strictly been one process per connection since 2.0. See the worker MPM. I would have chosen nginx, but Apache can be configured as a capable static file server.

Even then each thread is still one connection (according to the apache docs).
