Anyone got any figures of what latency a switch introduces from an ingress to egress Ethernet interface..how many microseconds?

That depends on the switch. Even on the same switch, might vary depending on whether it might change how it forwards frames, e.g. cut-through vs. store-and-forward. Also depends on port speeds and, for store-and-forward, frame size. Rough ball park might be 10 to 40 microseconds.

[edit]

PS:

"Cut-through switches can reduce switch-to-switch latency from 15 to 50 microseconds to 2 to 4, he says. "
