Actually, just loading the modules will present a very small impact on 
apache. What matters is whether you USE those modules or not and that 
will depend on how you have apache configured and what pages you are 
serving. For
instance ModRewrite incurs pattern matching overheads that are low if 
you have only a few rules. But its possible to have hundreds or 
thousands of them which WOULD create some noticeable overhead.

As always, tis depends. But just as a rule of thumb, not noticeable on 
the hardware you described.

hope this helps
