I always used to put the turboprops into London City first, they'd keep the speed up until much, much later, and disc-up the props about 2 miles from touchdown (e.g. KLM Fokker 50s). The RJs etc would faff about slowing down early without telling you and waste runway capacity. I don't think the passengers feel a thing...until some of the touchdowns...
