As far as I know, the 'official' ath10k dev kits use the same firmware that is available on the public git firmware tree, so probably firmware performance is similar unless some third-party company has acquired firmware source code and put some considerable effort into it. My CT firmware is primarily focused on stability and features. I have not made a lot of effort to try to optimize speed, though I have had a few people tell me my firmware was faster, and I don't recall anyone telling me it was slower. I suspect it is basically about the same. Possibly a very recent linux kernel + ath10k driver is more efficient than reference driver OS's, but I am guessing that would depend greatly on how the reference OS is tuned for the hardware in question. I test on x86 primarily, and have plenty of CPU, so I haven't been worrying too much about CPU resources on the host.
