Yes.

With minimal_response = no, it doesn't fill in the Additional section 
with records related to the ones in the Answer section. If the client 
doesn't already have those records cached, it will need to make an 
additional query to get them. So instead of one query that returns 
everything the client needs, it needs to make two queries.
