In Linux only the kernel( and its modules) run in kernel space. All others processes (including X11, BASH, KDE, etc...) run in user space. There is no speed increase it is mearly about permissions to access the hardware directly and other assembly commands which are limited to kernel space. I am not sure about Windows95 and how they handle the spaces.
