Why do the A330s need 16R/34L?

They're not that sluggish, and at domestic weights, they wouldn't be struggling to get out of 2400m of tarmac?

I'm sure they'll be using 09/27 at MEL, considering bigger things already use that. Or am I missing something about ground clearence/climb gradient (which I still can't see)?
