I use Apache/mod_jk/Tomcat for a long time on production servers with load balancing/failover (and with high traffic sites) and I'm sure it's not 30% slower than a pure Tomcat.
I use Apache to deliver static files, manage SSL and other apache specifics modules. Then, Tomcat only manage dynamics requests (servlets and JSPs) without SSL. With this distribution of the functions, the Tomcat is less stressed and its performances increase. And when the Tomcat load increase, I add a Tomcat in the cluster... So, I think it's a good way to use it.
