I did tests with 0.0, 0.05, and 0.2 padding, and even with my massive halo the 0.05 padding was almost the same (by one or two particles) as the 0.2 case for runs of p>=4. My inclination is to default to something conservative (say 0.1, I think 0.2 is too much and wasteful) and document what padding means so users understand why they might want a padding bigger or smaller than the default.
