 Replying to [ticket:41903 markbowenpiano]:
 > I am very very new to WordPress so might be wrong on this but if the
 Heartbeat API is what is responsible for letting a user know that another
 user is editing a post then it is indeed NOT being turned off with either
 of the code snippets above as I am still getting those messages in the
 admin panel.

 Disabling Heartbeat API does not remove "This content is currently locked"
 dialogs.

 > Not sure exactly what else the Heartbeat API is used for though?

 It makes various autosave tasks and authentication checks run more
 smoothly.
