Class B Airspace(usa)

Would like to know if controllers in the continental USA,would agree that class B airspace for IFR,Jet traffic is obsolete????..
I fly in/out of San Jose and Las Vegas on many occasions.....there are several areas where we pass in and out of this airspace .....when cleared for the ILS into vegas day/vmc...we decend through class B airspace now restricting us to 200kts...yet the controllers on many occassions ask us to keep the speed up...210KTS or better.....are we in compliance????

Coming out of San Jose,the departure....Nth dep...south Turn restricts us to 200kts because of KSFO,S airspace,until 5000 and (Cant remember the radial),and this is on an IFR clearance.....

The problem I have is that ,we are in radar contact,most other traffic is...why the speed restrictions,it has never really served any purpose,most of us blow it off ....and controllers never say a thing.....PB
