I only mentioned TeX algorithm in relation to paragraph breaking (into lines) and hyphenation in a single paragraph. When pagination comes into play, the asynchronous method of (La)TeX is indeed not perfect, and there are quite a few things that don't work right, finding out how to optimally fit a given text in a number of pages is one of them.
