You can get these answers from the JVN calculator, too. The current draw does increase, though not necessarily to the point of tripping the breakers.

Sorry, yes, of course that's true. The calculator is a little ideal, so in the theoretical version the maximum RPM (and max speed) shouldn't be changed, it just takes longer to get there. In reality, though, there is speed loss, but it will probably be less dramatic than the torque loss.
