Many controllers add a smidge for a 757 ahead because you slow down so much short final, then the poor bugger behind still gets less than vortex minima and a very late landing clearance. I have often wondered whether the 757 gets its reputation for vortex incidents due to the reduced separation we end up with rather than it being particularly worse than other top-end medium vortex aircraft.
