Good luck - sounds like an edge case, but a perfectly valid one. AFAIK, the heartbeat only stops when you close your browser, but does slow down after (I think) five minutes of inactivity. But I'm not aware of any built-in way to turn it off. Also, as I think Pippin was alluding to, plugin developers do have the ability to decrease the ping time through a hook, down to once every 10-15 seconds I believe.
