Not really, because once we have loaded pdf file and have applied the cropping rectangles using graphical UI on the characteristic page(s) (usually takes less than a minute with some gained experience) or have applied the necessary commands for k2pdfopt, it is matter of seconds or minutes to crop 1000 page pdfs depending on the used application and pdf file, and with k2pdfopt we can do it in batch overnight for hundreds of similar files.
We don't do it page by page manually, but instead we just need to take a look into a dimension or layout of one characteristic single page or maybe couple of neighbouring odd & even pages (in the document with uniform pages), and program shall crop the rest accordingly while we can drink our coffee surfing the net.
When using Pdfscissors or Briss, I don't usually see any legible words except maybe bigger titles, because I'd usually use a zoomed-out stacked view instead of separate-page-view, and in stacked view all the pages are piled together illegibly like a pile of translucent superimposed pages would look like, only with visible contours, and I would simply draw the cropping rectangles over the white parts close to the dark contours knowing there is no text to be accidentally cut out this way i.e. all the dark text would be inside those boundaries.
