If anyone searches anthing below cn=monitor, the search spans the whole 
subtree to see if any entry matches; this causes all times all the 
entries to be regenerated.  I plan to make extensive use of custom 
monitoring (for example, one thing I've been asked to design is full 
monitoring of connections cached by back-ldap and back-meta as dynamic 
entries.  When our proxies are under heavy load we don't want monitoring 
to cause issues because the connection tree needs be locked unintendedly 
by back monitor.  I wonder whether ON by default might be a more 
appropriate option.
