There really shouldn't be any -- if you have any virtual functions at all,
you already have a vtbl entry and you are just adding at most one entry to a
single vtbl for the class.  In the cases where it was safe to not have a
virtual destructor (ie, the actual object type is statically known), the
compiler should make the destructor call static and possibly inline it
anyway.
