Have you ever had an incident where the programmed GS mini was insufficient and you had to add kts?
​​​​​​​How does one know GS mini is insufficient? Any increase in headwind increases the target Vapp. In tailwind it flies the Vapp. May be rapid change of head wind to tailwind gives an illusion that speed is dropping but it's behaving as designed because the target itself is reducing.
