Do you mean that 3.10 perform better than 3.9.9 ? I do not see any rt2x00 fixes between 3.9 and 3.10 that are not yet applied on 3.9.9. I can see only some cleanups and new hardware support patches. Try to subscribe to rt2x00 mailing list, http://rt2x00.serialmonkey.com/mailman/listinfo/users_rt2x00.serialmonkey.com we post new patches there, but currently we do not have any pending RT3290 fixes.
