Hi Marcus,
I'm afraid this will not help.

Setting dontSetCookie does exactly what it says: It doesn't set cookies. 
This has, however, no effect on any DB calls.
As I said: A guest user always results in 2 calls to fe_sessions, 1 on 
fe_session_data and 2 on fe_sessions joined with fe_users... I don't see 
any conditionals which would avoid those calls.

Regards,
Christopher
