Speeds on final approach

Noticed a big variation on final speeds today (indicated airspeeds that is, not ground speeds). It wasn't just aircraft late in slowing due to anti icing or higher anticipated speeds due to tankering fuel but gaining and losing 5/10 kts throughout the approach. Just wondered if anyone could offer a definitive explanation?
