I retested Fedora 25 to match the same kernel used by Rawhide, and I get:

Is that consistent on retries? I get really variable results on WiFi. I'd run the test several times...

   # rmmod iwldvm iwlwifi   ; modprobe iwlwifi
   # iperf -c 10.1.10.4

Of course, I get better results with TX aggregation enabled:

   # rmmod iwldvm iwlwifi   ; modprobe iwlwifi 11n_disable=8
   # iperf -c 10.1.10.4

Firmware versions are the same in all three cases. And the iw outputs
are all the same. And the laptop is in the same location. So there is
something in the ether affecting the result, but it does seem pretty
clear there's something awry with Fedora 25 and it's not the kernel or
the firmware. Maybe wpa_supplicant? OK this is weird....

If I'm not mistaken, with the rawhide kernel you got better results than you've posted previously in this thread. I don't think it's entirely clear that the problem isn't the kernel.
