You can almost entirely suppress LayerData packets by sending another 
AgentThrottle packet with Land (or is it Terrain?) set to 0, if you want 
to see the world without any ground. On the rest of that, the answer is 
no unless you set Task to 0 which will pretty much choke off all nearby 
updates (like prims moving around). Even that probably won't stop the 
CoarseLocationUpdates though.
