Flew my Dreamer again today to check comments about landing speed.

Like most Biplanes a slow idle rpm produces a very steep glide slope, which is expected and it lands easily. A high idle rpm creates a bear to land and it simply wants to continue flying. If the prop is turning a little fast at idle it is easy to understand difficulty landing.
