You shouldn't make configuration changes in the config.ini file.  
That's generated for historical reasons, I think, and because it's a  
handy way to see what your configuration looks like. You'd want to  
change things in your python configuration script. It looks like  
there's a parameter on the O3CPU called numPhysIntRegs which should do  
what you want.
