If you're careful when you do it, it's really negligible. Just backdrive the shaft before by hand to get a feel for it, line everything up, red loctite the bolt, and tighten down carefully until it's just snug. In our case, it helps that our Colson hubs have a ridge on the edge such that the part of the wheel contacting the bearing just touches the inner race. Get it just tight, then turn by hand and be sure it feels the same resistance wise. It may add a little friction, I guess, but subjectively it hasn't been much.
Adam's right in that it does loosen - check it before every day of competition, more often if you don't use red loctite.
