Talking Cleared high speed......

Ahhh those wonderful ATC words...no speed restrictions etc etc

Just wondering if any of you drivers out there have your own rules of thumb you use in a high speed descent and approach.
I'm not talking about the standard speed/descent profile with a reduction to 250kts below 10000'.........I'm talking about high speed all the way down to the point where you slow down and configure to land
Me personally...I'll start slowing the 757 down from 300kts about 12-15 miles and 2000' above the LOC G/S intercept, seems to work most times

Anyone else have their own techniques?
