Mesh level is fine. Do we still need MSpT, considering that we are not
doing double buffering? I can't see how the total number of SBs will
ever exceed 6 * ceil( MSpT / stars_per_block ).

Ok. You're planning to change the memory usage slider that currently
uses arbitrary units to use StarBlocks.

Would it be worth the while to derive this relationship numerically?
I'm satisfied with the arbitrary memory units that we use now, but I
wouldn't mind adding more sense to that.
