vm: lazy load internal/vm/module for performance

Rodrigo Muino Tomonari requested to merge github/fork/anonrig/perf/vm-run-in-context into main

Even though the benchmarks are open for discussion, I think lazy loading should be good.

Be aware that when doing many comparisons the risk of a false-positive result increases.
In this case, there are 10 comparisons, you can thus expect the following amount of false-positive results:
  0.50 false positives, when considering a   5% risk acceptance (*, **, ***),
  0.10 false positives, when considering a   1% risk acceptance (**, ***),
  0.01 false positives, when considering a 0.1% risk acceptance (***)
