Code in Modules executes slower than in Kernel?

Sorry, but I did not understand why module code should be slower than kernel code. Both run in kernel space, and both have the same access rights (at least with the current design). That's why modules pose a potential security threat. The only difference is that modules have to be loaded initially. Once the module is loaded, the code is effectively kernel code.
