Open vSwitch doesn't support OpenFlow 1.1, but, regardless, flow extraction is on the critical path. I can't think how to avoid that, since it must classify the packets to determine which actions to apply. It does some smart caching to make the lookup fast in software, but it still needs to extract the flow to do that lookup.
