I get the same lag issue.  But I have a server up on the EQEMU login screen. and testing it on the same computer ...  my ping rates are sky rocketed.  im on a cable modem, and my consistancy in killing mobs, inventory, etc.  are bad as well. 
 
YOu have a great point though,  I wonder if that is part of the problem, less packets sent, = less packets received =)  
 
But then again, I only notice it once in a while. I can be the only one logged into it too, or on another computer. 
 
the sit and stand trick does not work,  but I did notice if I turn my back from a open part in the zone, the ping rates drop back to 300ish...
