Optimize latency checks for significantly faster performance

- Reduced ping interval from 1s to 200ms (5x faster per relay)
- Reduced ping count from 5 to 3 (still reliable, but faster)
- Increased latency workers from 30 to 100 (3.3x more parallelism)
- Increased liveness workers from 20 to 50 (2.5x more parallelism)
- Reduced timeouts: liveness from 3s to 1s, latency from 10s to 3s
- Expected speedup: ~10x faster overall execution time
