Technically, yes. Realistically, no. Does that hand off and transfer affect the total overall packet time? Of course, but it's all handled within the kernel of the machine, versus going out over the wire, so it's not really noticable. Measureable? Sure. But so is shortening your network cables. Want to easily speed up your network traffic 100%? Cut all of your cables in half. So, seriously, don't worry about it too much. If your site is getting 1000 visitors a day, over 10 hours, that's less than 2 per minute. You can look at your logs and measure your peak times if you like. Trust me, you're not stressing anything here, and Tomcat will have no problems whatsoever handling that traffic. Would it handle the 1000 users if they all showed up at once? Probably not, but you'd be fixing other things before Tomcat then anyway. Tomcat will happily saturate your internet connection. Best of luck.
