FMGC does not calculate descent with anti ice on, a note in FCOM says a/c will deviate from path with anti ice on. Not surprising because with anti ice on calculation you will end up starting descent early and burning more fuel.In general a slight overshoot with speed brakes consumes less fuel than undershoot and flying level.
