Yes and there is no mention of it. I thought that it may be a technique that I hadn't been told about.
It makes no sense to carry extra speed when not required. My company operates into alot of high elev airfields. 5000-6000 ft so this would give a higher GS over the numbers. I wouldn't like to have an over run.

Not that the 3Kts would cause that.....
