English term or phrase: less of a relative burden
estoy seguro que se trata de una expresión característica en español pero no se me viene a la punta de la lengua!!

yo pensé en: "un asunto de menor consideración/de poca importancia"

la frase completa dice: "while overheads will become less of a relative burden as tonnage volumes increase".
