'''Speculation:'''
: This might control the maximum size of DMA transfers. RCP supports DMA bursts of upto 16 Octbytes (128 bytes), which matches the default value.<Br> Perhaps this register allows forces a smaller transfer size and allows better interleaving of multiple DMA requests, or for a lower guaranteed latency when a high-priority device (like VI) requests a DMA transfer.
: This register isn't used by any known N64 software, maybe it's broken. Maybe it didn't improve performance.
