I think GSTS timestep will be higher -- pwave is proportional to GSTS
(although the proportionality has many parameters) and the elastic wave
will propage at "infinite" speed throught infinitely rigid
interconnections. E.g., clump of 2 touching spheres will have 4r length,
but the 2r in the middle is not elastic; in such case, the wave will
travel 2x faster than it would in corresponding non-clump arrangement of
spheres.
