title: What is the memory overhead of a .NET Object
body: <p>What is the memory overhead of an Object in .NET?  I'm talking about an arbitrary bare-bones object.... the overhead of the internal .NET workings or references:</p>
  
  <pre><code>var obj = new System.Object();
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>How much space does obj occupy in the heap?</p>
