The followup is, if that is a major part of that 'lag spike' could we get an option to disable that? I might look at someone else's quests once in a blue moon, so being able to only load that data when I want to instead of every time would be nice.

In general, it seems to me that more server-side options to prevent data from being sent (data we would choose not to have sent) would also be a boon for the server load, since it's sending less data.

This used to be a big problem but we made some changes that eliminated a lot of data that was sent down when you join a group. I haven't seen the problem when I play since then. So I'm not sure if you're experiencing a different kind of lag or not.
