I use this pattern very widely -- mostly because because it maps well
to my soft-code (non-C++-like) inheritance model, and then by
infection to the rest of the server.
Performance impact? There definitely is some, but I have no metrics.
You are essentially talking about adding an extra pointer arithmetic
to every affected access or call. At the singular level pointer
arithmetic is cheap. In the great mass they can add up. What defines
"great mass" as versus an "acceptable mass" is up to you. Its the
classic trade-off between maintainability and clean design versus
"ultimate performance". For me its fast enough with my fairly heavily
nested structure (then again my basic approach to such problems is to
throw more hardware at them).
