How much separation is required by the tower for a/c taking off and
landing?


Sometime last year I was purposely flying very fast on final into
Baltimore/Washington when the tower controller called me to ask that I
slow down because he needed 3,000 feet between my IFR Bonanza and the
IFR Tomahawk that just landed and was still on the runway.

3000 is correct. IFR or VFR is irrelavant.
