David,
You are not likely to see a reduced-cog Propeller.  It would involve pretty much a redesign of the chip itself even though a lot of the elements would be functionally the same.  You're talking about years and any attempt to do so would take away from Prop II development.

There is no way to increase the amount of cog memory beyond 512 longs.  Some people have suggested using some kind of paging scheme, but that wouldn't work practically even though it sounds like a fix.

The Prop II will have the same number of cogs plus more speed and more memory.

The Prop I has 20 MIPS in each of 8 independent processors and deterministic instruction execution (except for some hub memory access ... cogs can be synchronized to each other and to the hub).
