It has to reduce holding, as some/all of the delay is taken by flying at reduced speed, and more slots are made by increasing the speed of those at the front. Obvious, really.
Just a reminder to please tell us your RTA speed when you check in. It helps if those of us who make the sequencing decisions, are in the loop!
ps (and this should be a rule imho) once you tell us the speed, don't alter it without telling us. We tend to assume you will keep doing it (like an instruction), which can lead to unwanted surprises. I would prefer to avoid some more incontrovertible rules drifting down to me from above.
