NetFlow Network Overhead?

I know the real answer is "It Depends", but how do you answer someone that wants an estimate of the potential overhead when enabling NetFlow? For example, if you enable NetFlow on all ports attached to a vmware VDS switch. Assuming typical corporate workloads, what do you tell a client to expect in network overhead? Is the best answer 2% to 3% on top of the current interface load?
