OK, I got it.

It seems to me that the -8 version has uAPSD disabled. I don't know how to 
check that.
In 
/sys/module/iwlwifi/parameters
the uapsd_disable is set to N
but as far I can remember uAPSD was disabled when using -8 version because -8 
driver was buggy. Is it a kernel stuff to disable it ?

When I use the -9 (e.g. latest 25.228.9.0) version, the download speed is very 
poor.
Ok, I tried to pass 
uapsd_disable=Y
in
/etc/modprobe.d/iwlwifi.conf
but it does not change the loaded parameter
/sys/module/iwlwifi/parameters/uapsd_disable
which is still set to N ,
so I think this parameter is forced by Ubuntu's kernel (that's really out of my 
knowledge abilities...).

SO the workaround which can lead to a fix for this bug, waiting for 15.04 :
- run Ubuntu 14.10 with -9 firmware (the default one) ;
- remove iwlwifi/iwlmvm modules ;
- reload (via modprobe) iwlwifi module with uapsd_disable=Y option ;
- the download speed is max !

I read that uAPSD was enabled in -9 firmware because bugs have been
busted. Maybe some of them survived ?
