Narrative:
On RNAV approach to runway 11. As soon as we switched to tower; controller tells us to slow to final approach speed because spacing 'may be an issue with 4R arrival; but it should be fine'. We extended gear and flaps asap and slowed to target speed. Just outside the final approach fix I asked the first officer to query ATC about spacing since controller seemed uncertain in first transmission. Tower responds that spacing is fine and we are cleared to land 11. I decide to land and stop before intersection of 4R; although we weren't given a lahso. As we are exiting runway 11 onto taxiway right we notice that aircraft is exiting 4R at same time (K or P4 I believe). Appeared to us after the fact that we arrived and landed at same time as other aircraft; and not staggered.
