Nothing like the high climb rates that can be experienced on G/A's. A/c's typically fairly light(less than max landing weight) and the transition from a stable approach to a G/A is a busy event.
I'm a HUGE fan of turning the autothrottles off and reducing the power on G/A's once the initial transition to the G/A has been established. Reduces acceleration rate(vertigo issues), reduces climb rate(often low altitude level off on G/A), and reduces pitch attitude(less pitch transition), and reduced power reduces the threat of flap overspeed on the G/A. All of this adds time to the G/A, clean up, acceleration, time to level off, and the time compression is relaxed.
Of course this is often 'frowned' upon - "just let the automation(ie A/T's) due the work for you." Uh, they're increasing the workload, which is why I reduced the power in the first place.
