It can be left on but if you can disable it on the ports that you
are using for lagg then that should help.  If you can't turn it off on
a per-port basis and you don't have a meshed switch topology then just
turn spanning tree off.  I think whats happening
is spanning tree is seeing a topology change and forcing a
renegotiation of the tree, which has the side effect of stopping
packet forwarding.  You could also turn down the spanning tree timers,
but there would still be a pause in the forwarding of packets
