It’s easy to drop altitude without gaining speed...if you know how to do it.

You are correct, Jack. I did that today coming from FL340 to pattern altitude in San Antonio in my jet. I had a Piper Meridian in front of me and and American Airlines MD80 behind me. ATC had us make several speed changes during our descent to not run over the small, slower aircraft.
