Yes I can believe there is a performance hit. The valve reparses the string on every request. Since the Valve also uses a SimpleDateFormtatter - I think it is also restricted by the sync block imposed by that class.
Another thing: If you enabled host lookup on the connector, it can also cause big problems with the access log.
