That's normal, in my experience.
In fact, my scripts sleep for 10 seconds at least before starting Tomcat
after a full stop, and 10 seconds minimum in between starting every
instance (22 on one server).
Tomcat != Apache.

Howdy,
You can reduce startup time by eliminating unneeded applications. In
production servers, I hardly ever leave anything but the webapp itself: I
remove the admin, manager, docs, webdav, examples, ROOT contexts.
Things that affect shutdown include your custom finalizers, if any.
