Do players change pace as a tactic?

[COMMENT DELETED]
there are usually times in each phase- opening, middle, and endgame where i will take 5min+ on a position in a 30 min game
and usually use most of the rest of the clock in the rest of the game in a well matched game
and if my opponent is taking more time than previously then maybe i got him stumped; it rarely happens for me but, dang, it's a nice luxury to get ahead on the clock for once
i have people abandon or worse- milk out 25minutes of clock when they blunder and i will wait them out; this usually happens when my ipad battery is at 2% and goes dead then i have to frantically reconnect on iphone to not autoresign myself but i think you are talking about something else
what time control are you talking about?
