This does not look O(n^3) to me.

It's a hash table, thus the first two loops is just iterating O(n) items
in the hash.

And the third loop is all the modules that use a particular event.

So it is O(n*m) where n is the number of events, and m is the number of
modules attached to the events. And that's only if all events are used
by those modules. The actual case is much smaller.
