High load due to err 400 return by Tezos node

[thomsh]

Hi, I'm experiencing very high load with tezos_exporter, docker tag tested: latest, 0.0.1-beta.13 & v0.0.1-beta.10 I'm using Tezos docker tag v7.1

I've been monitoring 1 329 946 queries in 30s all forged by tezos_exporter, resulting in high load for tezos_exporter process and tezos node. Recorded via timeout 30 tcpdump -ni docker0 tcp and port 8732 -A 2>&1 |grep -E -o 'GET /.+ HTTP' Resulted in:

 332506 GET /chains/main/mempool/monitor_operations?applied HTTP
 332472 GET /chains/main/mempool/monitor_operations?branch_delayed HTTP
 332512 GET /chains/main/mempool/monitor_operations?branch_refused HTTP
 332456 GET /chains/main/mempool/monitor_operations?refused HTTP

However all this end to an error 400
