This is not true! I suppose it varies by flight (and crew), but on my last 3 flights on an A340 there was absolutely no unnecessary traffic to the F galley, and the F galley was not used for any purpose except to prepare meals for F passengers and the pilots. The J galley (behind the F cabin) did have a lot of activity, but it did not disturb me in any way. The new F config in the A340 is actually more comfortable than the 747s as the seats are slightly better (an improved model) and there is a better IFE system. Personally I prefer a new A340 to an old 747 config (probably the new 747 config will be comparable to the new A340 in which case it will once again become preferable).
