Same at LAX, when two airplanes are landing either 25L/R or 24L/R. I've had an airplane overtake me inside the FAF. One on the ILS, the other on a visual.

The airports that were designed to be jet airline airports don't have these closely space runway issues that forever compromise safety at LAX and SFO.
