Reminds me of the time that I was on a 5 mile final at Bratislava in a puddle jumper and the controller asked me of if I could speed up for following traffic....to which I replied that I am on glideslope with 100% power ......

Or may be it was on the ILS in to Penang and the controller asked me to do a 360 in IMC so that the following commercial traffic could "overtake", obviously in "complete safety".

Sometimes we would like to get out of the way of the commercial traffic, but its either technically impossible or unsafe to do so....not because we are small minded numpties
