If we enable conditional monitoring here , will this help ?
How does transport zones help with something like this ?  Do they
limit the amount of processing .  We only have a single VM on this
node , so single LSP , Logical Switch etc that is actually needed or
used.
Would v24.03.0 
https://github.com/ovn-org/ovn/commit/1622526ff2102525e1bbf2ca262842c71d6b9b33
help here ?
