Review Comment:
   These custom health-checks were more to make sure we werent' stuck waiting 
for responses on broken streams.  Sending all the time could help detect errors 
on streams that are idle, reducing latency if the stream does need reconnecting 
and we wait until a request is sent. But for cases with load I don't think it 
woudl occur and always sending could increase the service load since I think we 
currently have a lot of idle streams (such as GetData that is never used).  So 
I'd rather not change it unless we have more motivation.
