Default Apollo CM engine.

My 1st and lasting impression of the CM engine bell is it was to big.
I do know about the bell size as it relates to use in a vacuum, my
question is why the engine needed the thrust it had?
Seems to me, in all maneuvers, the same impulse would occur with say
1/2 the thrust and 2x the thrust time.
Which maneuver (engine firing) needed the supplied CM engine thrust?
Ken
