Narrative:
Being vectored for 9R ILS, controller issued a 757 TA to us. We were 3 mi behind. We had to tell controller 3 times we needed 5 mi behind for wake turbulence. He gave us a heading outside the marker, 40 degrees right of localizer. Upon localizer interception just outside marker we were only 4 mi behind. We called the tower and advised we were slowing to final approach speed to get 5 mi behind 757. On rollout, tower advised to exit runway as soon as possible as there was traffic on 1 mi final. We exited with instructions to hold short of runway 12. Then they told us to cross 12 and expedite as there was traffic on final for '12' 1 mi out. We expedited, the aircraft was moving at a rather brisk rate to comply with controller. We passed taxiway 'Q' and 'P' before contacting ground. I would have had to slam on brakes, possibly injuring flight attendants. Causing further brake heating might have led to blown tires after using strong braking on runway. There were no other aircraft on txwys. Thus, I felt the safest course of action was to continue into 'gate' area 'straight ahead' and contact ground while rolling. I feel we should be given '5' mi behind 757's and controllers shouldn't rush aircraft across runways.

Title: AN ACR MLG TAXIED WITHOUT CLRNC.
Narrative: BEING VECTORED FOR 9R ILS, CTLR ISSUED A 757 TA TO US. WE WERE 3 MI BEHIND. WE HAD TO TELL CTLR 3 TIMES WE NEEDED 5 MI BEHIND FOR WAKE TURB. HE GAVE US A HDG OUTSIDE THE MARKER, 40 DEGS R OF LOC. UPON LOC INTERCEPTION JUST OUTSIDE MARKER WE WERE ONLY 4 MI BEHIND. WE CALLED THE TWR AND ADVISED WE WERE SLOWING TO FINAL APCH SPD TO GET 5 MI BEHIND 757. ON ROLLOUT, TWR ADVISED TO EXIT RWY ASAP AS THERE WAS TFC ON 1 MI FINAL. WE EXITED WITH INSTRUCTIONS TO HOLD SHORT OF RWY 12. THEN THEY TOLD US TO CROSS 12 AND EXPEDITE AS THERE WAS TFC ON FINAL FOR '12' 1 MI OUT. WE EXPEDITED, THE ACFT WAS MOVING AT A RATHER BRISK RATE TO COMPLY WITH CTLR. WE PASSED TXWY 'Q' AND 'P' BEFORE CONTACTING GND. I WOULD HAVE HAD TO SLAM ON BRAKES, POSSIBLY INJURING FLT ATTENDANTS. CAUSING FURTHER BRAKE HEATING MIGHT HAVE LED TO BLOWN TIRES AFTER USING STRONG BRAKING ON RWY. THERE WERE NO OTHER ACFT ON TXWYS. THUS, I FELT THE SAFEST COURSE OF ACTION WAS TO CONTINUE INTO 'GATE' AREA 'STRAIGHT AHEAD' AND CONTACT GND WHILE ROLLING. I FEEL WE SHOULD BE GIVEN '5' MI BEHIND 757'S AND CTLRS SHOULDN'T RUSH ACFT ACROSS RWYS.
