Question 737NG FMC Perf Page 2/2

On Perf Page 2/2 there is the option to change the minimum or maximum speeds for Climb, Cruise and Descent.

My question relates specifically for descent.

Do the speeds selected on this page influence just the "planning for the FMC Vnav operation" or are they hard limits that VNAV will never exceed?

For instance if you had entered a limit for the descent speed of .79/310 and maybe due to a late descent clearance find yourself high on a planned path descent will VNAV limit its attempt to rejoin the path to .79/310 or will it try to rejoin the path irregardless of the speed limit?
