Post NGB737 VNAV (DESCEND NOW)
When one initiates a descent before the computed ToD using the DESCEND NOW LSK, and the aircraft starts the -1000fpm descent until it meets the computed descent path, what is the speed used for this initial portion of the descent?

Is it the CRUISE target speed, or the speed profile entered in the VNAV DES page?
