Bigears: 250 kts below FL100 is not necessarily relevant in Class A airspace where the limiting factors are the SLPs as already mentioned in this thread.
If you were Class G or D then of course the 250kts would apply below FL100.

A couple of years ago I rode up front with RYR on my way to EIDW.
The crew were extremely friendly and very professional.
On our approach to the "short" runway at EIDW, the Captain told me that the company liked the crews to hold off the use of brakes as much as possible to make them last longer and save money.
He thought this was a load of **** and jumped on the brakes big time.
is this standard practice?

eyeinthesky/Flanker, It was Class D, going to Class G in the descent. No request was made to keep high speed (bad time to ask why not!), and obviously there were no SLP's. It was very noticeable, as the ROD was halved to slow us down.

In the US there is no exemption for above 250 Knts IAS below 10,000 unless your aircraft can't fly that slow. There is however a departure test going on in Houston for faster than 250...
