I would suggest that, as well as doing it at the book figures, one is trained to fly the approach so the glideslope intercept is reached at the flap/gear limiting speed.

That is the "keep your speed up due to a 737 behind you" scenario.

To avoid rapid engine cooling, one needs to bring the power back gradually while on the glideslope.
