Actually we did, and it was more expanded upon in the anime. They were very much equal in speed, and part of Kakashi's success was due in part to his Sharingan. Also, Kakashi never showed to imbue lightning into his weapons into the war so bringing that up is irrelevant. So no, Kakashi is not faster than Hidan or Kakuzu. But, like I said, he never used gates on higher skilled ninja. The only time he put it to use that we seen in battle was against Naruto in the anime to use Primary Lotus. But, say he does do it, he'd suffer the pain that comes with it. The only thing 1st gate it does it increase your strength, but it doesn't seem to make a huge impact, but good enough. No speed has been proven to be given an upgrade.
