What I meant was that:

i) The use of the generator seems to be trying to
provide the advantages of a lazy list (but I'm not
convinced either that it does, or that these
advantages would be very significant here);

ii) I suspect that the computational complexity
of the generator version is likely to be somewhat
worse than that of generating a list (lazy or
otherwise) ... of which more shortly.

I'm afraid the two comments got telescoped
in my haste to go home.
