Narrative:
We were on the zplyn 3 RNAV arrival for runway 17R; but then den approach changed the runway to 16L and maintain 280 KTS or faster. We proceeded to change our runway in the FMC. The box was little slow for some reason [and] that left us little high at jpage intersection. Jpage crossing was between 17;000 feet - 15;000 feet and we were at 17;900 feet. We did inform the controller about it and she said it was ok.
