Is the client object lightweight?

[phaninra]

Is the NonBlockingStatsDClient a lightweight object? I'm planning to use this in a large application and wondering about creating multiple instances of this client, one for each prefix?

Reusing one instance across the application would require us to explicitly provide the prefix for each metric (or aspect), which can be noisy.

What would you recommend?
