It took a while to test both, the github version as well as the most
recent version on -CURRENT (r307731) with my RTL8188CE (PCI).

The github version worked well until 2016-09-05 (commit 580cef).
Throughput was limited to around 400 kbit/s.
The next test from 2016-09-16 (commit a018e741) caused a better throughput,
mostly up to around 1.2 Mbit/s. Its stability was bad, though.
Kernel panics as well as random lockups of the interface struck often.
The version as of r307731 in -CURRENT is just as bad. It feels as if the
stability improvements from r302035 have been reverted.

What can I do to help you to improve the situation?

Cheers
Marcus
