On an oceanic track - aren't you supposed (read: required) to maintain assigned Mach, rather than fool around with speeds as pleases you?

Otherwise - if you are heavier than planned, then OFP climbs are not exactly valid anymore. Crazy to try to burn fuel faster so you can then make the climb as close to OFP point as possible.
