According to this article by WOW Insider, Blizzard is going to cut back on what are called "inspect requests" by addons like GearScore to help with lag. It says this is implemented as of Patch 3.3.5. There are links addon developer sites in the article. One of them says in an update that it appears this throttling will happen with the next rolling restart, not with Patch 3.3.5 itself.

I think what this means is any addon that has to request character information will operate slower to help the stressed WOW servers.
UPDATE: WOW Insider explains how it will work. Again.
