I don't understand what you mean with the second sentence.

But with respect to the first one, in most cases it does not make much
sense to have small solvent particles around a big coarse-grained particle,
since there will be no specific interactions between the solvent and the big
solvent particle.
One can therefore just as well use large solvent particles and speed
up the simulation.
