Your backup sizing is quite small; are you sure it's that small? There are Redbooks on sizing for AIX; also, there is much material from SHARE proceedings on performance and tuning.
A more typical arrangement (I've seen) for a single-client+server situation might be 50 GB to start, up to 100 GB total backup occupancy, on a file/print server that is also a TSM server (and client) -- which I had at two sites; we configured with 4-way Dell processors, 512MB RAM, external RAID for the file-served data, internal drives for the TSM db, log & disk pool (102 GB). This was a software development & marketing site, this HW config was more than sufficient to handle both TSM and file-server loads with sub-second response time for normal business day users... the main deficiency was only one tape drive, so we insisted that primary storage pool )for backups) stay on disk, two copy pools to tape (one for onsite, one for offsite) to fully protect their data -- which we limited to 60 GB of file server storage.
