IIRC, the box stack test program used a frequency that was around 20Hz,
which is way too low to simulate real-life boxes with Earth gravity, I
think. They would sink through the floor too easily or just too far.

Setting gravity ofcourse help relieve that problem and makes a slower sim
frequency possible.
