I recently started running into performance issues on OpenWRT 15.05. I found out that the latest kernels have lots of important optimizations, including "software offloading" and - if your hardware is supported - "hardware offloading". I updated the software and found that it instantly sped up by a large margin, then updated to the latest Git snapshot and managed to NAT at 600mbps at my - rather old - router. So, my suggestion is: If you had network performance problems before, DO UPDATE. You might be surprised at how much faster it can get. In my case it was doubled.
