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.
