Okay, I'm glad to note that iteconfig -w 640 -h 480 -d 4 puts me in 
TT-med.  Trying iteconfig -w 720 -h 480 -d 1 complains that St_pool_mem 
is exhausted.. Hmm..

By the way it seems that output in X is much speedier than the regular 
'text' mode.

Also, how about using the X fonts (small fonts) for 'text' mode.
