Current everyday networking has tens-of-microseconds latency[1] and on 2018 era CPUs the context switch overhead seems to be 1-2.5 microseconds[2]. So in benchmark and specialized use cases, context switch overhead would be measurable but many orders of magntude away from relevant when talking about communication over the internet.
