Status calls cause slow tasks on clients

Calling status on a client can cause long slow tasks. This can be a problem if there is other work happening on the client, as other requests will experience high latencies during that time.

No files, tests, or entry points are named in the issue. Start by tracing and reproducing the client status call while other client work is active; done means status no longer causes long tasks or high latency for concurrent requests.
