Question for A-320 drivers

Many a times I have seen pilots pulling speed or vertical speed to get to the cleared altitude faster during the climb out. My own understanding is that one should let the speed stay "managed' as this would be the most efficient way of getting up there. At times there is a tail wind component and pilots feel that if they get up there faster, they will benefit more.

Hope someone will clear this up.
