Why do it if it's not fun?

Surely the answer would be "when the thrust levers are fully forward"?

Or a more sensible answer.... in addition to Mark's reply, is it not also true that jets develop most thrust at high true airspeeds? (Not a jet pilot... at least not yet... but that's the way I understand it in theory.)
