Nope, the generator is guessing size of particles form number and box 
size, its a bit the same.
The "guess box size" part has been implemented by Vaclav I think.

Mmmmh... How "better"?

If you find the TT algorithm too slow, keep in mind that it can be 
speeded up a lot by changing growth coefficients, confining stress and 
other parameters. CPU time for packing generation has never been a 
problem for me yet.
