Not so good for those living near the over run area though with all the noise of aircraft running off the end of the runway. ...

Funny, the last time I looked at anything relating to performance, you definitly got a landing dist/mass credit from having a steeper approach angle
Empty cruise, I knew someone would bite.

What I was refering to was comming screaming in down the steep slope, not configuring early enough & being too fast at the threshold. I dont think you get any performance credit for that.
