Noflyzone,
Forward speed is important but most important is keeping your AOA at CLmax. That is fly high pitch, respect PLI and stall warning, and for the Airbus guys fly SRS or 17,5 deg otherwise. This in reasonable limits of speed of course. You don't pitch for speed otherwise you'll convert the aircraft in a submarine when in the negative side of a microburst.
See delta crash. They crashed with a lot of forward speed...
And no, don't touch the flaps, cause they keep you flying. If you think that you can remove some flaps due to speed, think that in the next seconds you might not have that speed!
Anyway, pilots fly memo items. Those procedures are written after a lot of crashes
Cheers

Reason: Flaps
