 I think for some maps, the wave approach makes it more interesting (if you can
get in to the generators before the next wave, retreat to a safe spot to knock
them out some, etc..)

 However, if you really wanted to just have all generators random, just edit
the archetype (.arc) file and set the speed appropriately.  Unless a map
specifically overides that, you should get the desired effect.
