Seems fine to me.  DC also has thrashing in these games, so it's clear
the threshold is still to low.  Can't say 100% sure that 6M will fit
(the DC has 16M in total, and there is some memory used for sound
buffers and stuff, plus the code size is rather large), but it sounds
reasonable that it would.
