This is a non-problem. Well, to be fair, on the occasions where servers do slow down, it tends to be from spell objects (normally coupled with directors). This is lagging 'because of items'. However I would agree that treasure drops from monsters aren't normally an issue in this case. Any benefit there would be would be to bandwidth usage, not server memory usage. However, even there, unless/until the number of faces visible per square is increased, the difference is likely to be minor (2 objects instead of 3, if there are multiple items dropped, and if there were nothing on the floor already)
