Thats prolly just the average limit for you after which all the php childs 
are stuck (even one free child still can handle quite a lot) .. In those 
moments you can try to attach to any of the php processes with 'gdb' or 
'strace' and look what are they doing (or stuck in).

But its not nginx related anymore ;)

Issues dont appear out of nowhere - usually its changes in the php code or 
some backend like DB for example reaching a limit where it can't handle all 
incoming requests anymore (threads pile up etc etc) ;)
