"Best forward speed" approaches

A few questions about fast (by spamcan standards) approaches in busy
terminal environments:

1) Is there any point in practicing any "best forward speed" approaches
besides the ILS?

2) How fast is fast enough? Obviously 120kts is better than 90kts
(maybe 1.5m less time after you turn onto the localizer), but does the
additional 20-30 seconds saved by going 130-140kts make a difference?

3) Do you fly these in a different flap/gear configuration or just use
more power?

4) Do you try this even when expecting to break out at minimums (with
less time to slow down)?
