Two other comments:

If you are running specifically latex, then you may want to have:
pool_size.latex = <whatever>
to specify that you want it to apply to latex; otherwise a specific
one in the texmf.cnf file might override yours.

Secondly, you can also specify pool_size etc. as environment
variables, which will override the texmf.cnf settings.
