That wouldn't do anything about his problem, he's maxing out entry processes which is database related..not to mention if his host has entry processes set at 15 that likely means he's using shared hosting and wouldn't have the choice to switch to nginx.
babeterminal: Make sure you're using a cache plugin, allow only your IP to access wp-login.php or setup auth password protection in front of it to stop brute force attempts, optimize your MySQL database (depending on how many plugins you had installed you might have a lot of leftover stuff in your database). If you're only getting 5,000 visitors you shouldn't be anywhere near that many entry processes unless you had a lot of plugins installed or something?
