What wifi roaming features does CAPsMAN provide? Does the signal-range option in /caps-man access-list menu disconnect clients based on the signal strength alone (the same way as signal-range option in /interface wireless access-list menu without CAPsMAN does)? Are there any functionality in CAPsMAN...

Are you sure the slowness happens in router (not ISP)?
There are some ISPs that throttle (all) the traffic heavily when detecting something they classify as P2P.

As the router is single core and CPU usage is well below 50% I would assume it is not the bottleneck (unless queues are configured!).
