Another worthwhile pre-game calculation IMO is this: looking at the group as a whole, figure how much more weight the entire party could they carry without slowing down. In other words, if with their regular gear, the slowest character moves at Move 4, calculate how much additional weight could be carried by all other characters without dropping anyone's movement below 4. If they find loot or whatnot that they want to transport, and its less in weight than whatever this number is, then just assume that the weight can be distributed among the faster, less encumbered party members and move on.
