I looked into it myself very briefly today (although I'm constantly distracted as I'm at a conference). When the service via query.wikidata.org is slow or even down, I usually still get very fast responses when querying the server locally (via curl on the host, using the nginx at port 80). I suspect we have a problem where either the nginx is not allowing more than N active workers for the misc web Varnish (but still for other hosts or specifically localhost) or Varnish doesn't want to have more than N open connections to the services, thus lets the other connections wait.
