Still fly her today... Normal descent rate from TOD to FL100 (M.080 to 300IAS transition) about 2500 fpm, depending on gross weight, no speed brakes. From FL100 down, about 1700 fpm, 250IAS. Burn form TOD to touch down is around 750 kgs.

We climb out on MCT, not Max Clim EPR, gives us about 95% N1, takes at MTOW to FL310 about 28 minutes and a burn of 3200 Kgs. The -100 is my favorite, she fly's like a sports-car drives.
