[Typo3-debian] memory consumption of apache/mysql (not php limit!)

I am no techie but this raises some questions for me. I am running 
Debian/Woody w/ Apache 1.3.27, PHP and MySQL on a rented Server (some 
Celeron w/ 512MB RAM).

What exactly is considered a apache thread?

Is that each user that connects to apache?
Is that each user that connects to Typo3_src?
Is that each user that connects to the Typo3-website?

I set up Typo3 so that I have one source and symlink to it from every 
typo3-website.

I'm hoping that means that one used typo3_src installation means one 
apache thread regardless how many users connect to how many webpages. 
Otherwise I see a problem.

Could you help me understand that?

Thanks
