wouldn't just changing the apache keep alive have been even easier than setting up a whole other web server and adding that to the mix?

If the nginx keep alive was set at 15 seconds, you'd have had a similar problem, no?

No. Because Nginx doesn't dedicate a thread or process to each open connection.

Doesn't that raise security concerns?

Yes, it requires a sandbox for things like PHP.

But it's limited to it. Most other web stacks come with their own sandbox. And Apache also puts PHP in a sandbox for unrelated issues.
