Loading the module will take some time, but as soon it's loaded it is exactly the same speed as a compiled-in driver. If it's a module you rarely use, the loading time doesn't matter. And if it's a module you often use it will not get unloaded most of the time. So normally there is no performance penalty. There is some small memory penalty however (average a half page per module, ie. 2 KB).
