My issue is that I would like the total_objs stat but without the
overhead of rte_rdtsc() being called twice for every node visit.

And also, I would like to be able to enable/disable these stats *at
runtime*. Having it behind a compile time constant makes it very not
flexible.

I could have two booleans to control whether total_calls/total_objs are
updated *and* whether total_cycles are computed. But that seems a bit
overkill and it would mean two fields to check (two branches) instead of
one per node.

Is it really that bad to update two uint64_t counters?
