----------------------------------
Well it is not exactly a constant overhead you might want to look at
o.a.c.u.ObjectSizes (CASSANDRA-4860)...

> As discussed in CASSANDRA-5422, Table.switchLock is a bottleneck on the write
> path. ReentrantReadWriteLock is not lightweight, even if there is no
> contention per se between readers and writers of the lock (in Cassandra,
> memtable updates and switches).
