I know I've attempted to modify this setting when I was using 1.6.1 and the 
results weren't good, so I'm a little nervious to touch it on the TT030 if 
no problems are being observed.

Maybe you could leave the ATARITT kernel as-is, if ST_POOL_SIZE hasn't 
already been modified there?

In any case, I can test any proposed changes on my TT030.
