I ran some comparison throughput tests between minstrel_ht and ath9k RC and minstrel showed lower numbers (~10Mbps difference). This is in a clean environment (OTA). IMO, we can switch the default to minstrel_ht, but keep the ath9k RC until the perf. gap is fixed. I think this was Google's concern too, a drop in the average throughput. This was in the STA->AP direction. In the AP->STA direction (AP: DB120, STA: AR9280), the numbers were really low. The highest that I could see was ~165 Mbps, while with WNDR3700 (stock FW), the average throughput was ~185 Mbps and an occasional high of 190 and above.
