This seems to be the case for the 6.30.223.141 driver which offers considerably worse performance for many users than its predecessor 6.20.155.1. This assumption is based on the reactions <https://plus.google.com/+NickGroenen/posts/HF828QcPK6k> to instructions for a "forthport" of 6.20.155.1 to saucy <https://zoni.nl/posts/2013/11/09/fixing-the-broadcom-bcm4331 -wireless-drivers-on-ubuntu-1310/>. Please continue to provide older BCM packages in the tree to make it easier for users to switch.
