The cost is a single pointer redirection - the same as between using "some_type some_var" and "some_type& some_var". But the gain is extensabitlity and maintainabiltiy. I have seen the neibouring team doing a one week 5 person refactoring run because they dicovered the value of virtual inheritance to late. Always remember: there is a cost of not using a feature as well - and it might be your weekend not beeing at home but doing refactoring.
