Instead of experimenting with VS there is more accurate and safer way given in airbus document of getting the best climb performance from the FMS. Since climb is the most fuel expensive phase if you change cost index to zero it operates at a speed which makes this phase shortest. But don't forget to change the CI at TOC otherwise it will cruise at snail's pace.
