I personally don't think that doing 320 kts will get you in a lot quicker. First of all it means descending earlier so you can make a level descelleration. This means reducing your TAS and increasing your fuel burn.I prefer to be 250kts by 10k.
The only time i might consider high speed below 10k is on the climb if given a low level off.
