The tempo is used in Ardour to determine where the measure/beat divisions
go.  If you're playing with a click-track, it will speed up or slow down
depending on the BPM chosen.  As Paul mentioned, if you were playing MIDI
tracks, these would adjust, but any pre-recorded tracks would have to be
adjusted in some other way.  Time-stretching regions is one way of doing
this.  Some tracks also could be modified using the Rhythm Ferret 
(http://en.flossmanuals.net/ardour/ch035_adjusting-the-rhythm-of-a-region/)
but that works best with certain types of tracks, like percussion.

Hope this helps explain it a little better.
