My dear friend, your comment is quite childish.

Why chase the speed?
+/- 5-10 while on glideslope with unstable weather conditions, you should keep the thrust unchanged and it will come back to where it is supposed to right after the gust.
The larger the aircraft. the more the inertia it carries.

You never chase the speed in a large airliner.

I suggest you read my post again, as you are replying to something irrelevant.
Realizing a trend to go below path while steady on the speed, you should add some thrust to bring her up to path again.

Thrust can overcome drag and cause acceleration of the mass, I agree. But you choose the vector. Your airspeed does not necessarily change if you start climbing. Right?
