How to reduce the number of requests from Mac OS X/Word for Mac to WebDAV server?

When writing a WebDAV server, I ran into the following problem. Mac OS X clients (Finder, Microsoft Office for Mac) generate many (hundreds) requests to write a file. At first, this problem was also in Windows, but it was solved by installing the Ms-Author-Via header :
Ms-Author-Via: DAV
After that, Microsoft Word began to send much fewer requests and editing the file began to look like this (and almost identical to Microsoft Word under Windows or LibreOffice under Windows and Linux):

PROPFIND
GET
LOCK (windows only)
PUT
UNLOCK (windows only)
PROPFIND (linux only)

Mac OS Finder and Office for Mac despite this header generate many additional queries:
  • Creating temporary folders
  • Creating temporary files
  • Moving temporary files

Is there a set of headers that can help avoid these requests on Mac OS X?
