We usually don't descend any slower than 2,500 fpm unless it is a shallow descent or we are expecting a speed restriction. When we're super light in a 900 you can see as high as 4,000 without any overspeed issues. As somebody else said those numbers are for GA aircraft that are usually somewhere close to 200kts.
