I am not a Cassandra expert, but from what I've seen floated around, there is currently a unique memtable, commit log, and sorted-table fileset per column-family. As a result, you can both use less memory (for memtable) and get higher write throughput by using one column family than 75. An alternative to column families is using key-prefixing. Perhaps someone with more definitive knowledge can chime in.
