[golang][counters] Is there a noticeable performance penalty for using a CounterVec with no labels as opposed to a Counter

[Noam Hurwitz]

It's easier to locally model all counters as CounterVecs and not pass any labels if we don't want dimensional breakdowns given Go's typing paradigms. I want to make sure doing this is not at excess cost.

[Bjoern Rabenstein]

AFAICS, there is currently a (small) performance overhead. If that
overhead ever matters in practice, we could introduce a "fast path" in
the implementation of the metrics vector. It should be a fairly easy
and straight forward change. PRs welcome. :o)
