10ms = 0.001s!

You can change the healthchecks to almost any time you want, but 10ms seems
an awfully small number to me.  I foresee big problems if you use 10ms; for
example no real services in service...

What application in the world needs health checks of 10ms?  Can you describe
your topology for us in detail so we can be helpful?  For example, maybe you
use apache + tomcat with mysql backend and all your clients are java
applications over http.
