In addition to what Sheldon said, you may be running something that's starting more processes without your knowing it. You should check ps auxw and find out what's running. Read messages too, to find out what's happening. Apparently etc/periodic daily, weekly, and monthly reread the rc.conf and rc.conf.local files, so if you're starting a process in there, it could starting another instance of itself.
