OK thanks - however ovs-dpctl show:

        lookups: hit:142051685241 missed:16517079493 lost:215200
        flows: 1544

with cpu utilization around 80% and ~250.000 p/s

(I hope this is the correct way to see amount of current flows)

If SSH (through OVS) have noticeable delay I would think that all traffic going 
through OVS would experience this delay ?

Thanks for your help.

Regards
Kristoffer
