The latest snapshots since 16 Jan 2022 apparently includes new performance enhancing patches for ethernet WAN to LAN. No improvement for DSL and unclear if it makes any difference to wifi speeds.
I may test it later myself.
Warning: there is one case of snapshot totally bricking HH5a a few days after it was released if you read the later posts.
ps. Did you see my PM ?
Update:
Briefly tested snapshot r18773 for HH5a (8 Feb 2022).
Only significant improvement I could see was when software offloading was enabled for ethernet WAN to ethernet LAN port.
Using red ethernet WAN port and a LAN port. Laptops connected to each port. iperf3 server on WAN side.

Next, I removed the wireless client mode settings to revert back to using the red ethernet WAN port. Subsequent speed tests between ethernet WAN to LAN were stuck at 86 Mbits/sec. It's as if packet steering and software flow offloading had both stopped working.
The above results for the wireless client wan to lan may therefore be suspect.
As it was a snapshot, decided not to spend any more time on it.
Update 2:
fwiw, I just put 21.02 onto a new Xiaomi 4A Giga and configured as a wireless client:
iperf3 test returned
326 Mbits/sec download, iperf client wired to 4A Giga.
309 Mbit/sec upload
Flashed Padavan onto same 4A Giga. Configured wireless bridge (AP client) mode:
320-350 Mbits/sec download, iperf client wired to 4A Giga.
350-400 Mbits/sec upload
