Why such a stout spring on the timing chain tensioner?

I modified both my tensioners for manual adjustment but what I'm wondering is how much preload to put on the timing chain tensioner. Why did the automatic tensioner for the timing chain have such a stout spring and the cam chain tensioner such a wimpy one? Any thoughts on this?
