Latency goes up somewhere in the two digit millisecond range. Whether that matters depends on your use cases. For real life applications performance is dominated by application code and neighbouring systems (databases, mainframe etc.). Since Apache is very scalable, in real life cases throughput will not change. When doing tests, always make a distinction between latency (how long do requests take) and throughput (how many requests per second are possible), and keep your investigations focused on the non trivial part (i.e. not measuring static content). Finally: your total ressource usage (CPU, Memory) will increase (Apache+Tomcat).
