Yes sure.  If you don't want that you may use the options

  --no-auto-check-trustdb --no-sig-cache

I have not tested it, though.  If you use a writable trustdb, you may
use a nightly cron job

  /usr/bin/gpg --batch --check-trustdb 2>/dev/null

along with --no-auto-check-trustdb to avoid trustdb computations during
normal operations.
