As I see it, calm will not help a lot because it is the size of the periodic box itself that is bouncing too much, while calm will only calm down particles. In your commited version at least, the problem is still there. The real problem is the huge overlap between clumps after random generation.
I fixed it by setting a max number of particles and a smaller size of clumps (last commit). Isn't there a better way than trial and error to get the appropriate clump size? Did you ever generate a non-overlaping clump cloud? I was in fact surprised that makeClumpCloud doesn't complain on overlaps. If it was following the model of makeCloud, it would not give any overlap, but apparently it is not checked in the clump version (or a bug in the periodic case?).
