The second is that at the lower limits the blinds aren't going to eat your bankroll so fast that you can't afford to play a tighter game, keeping in mind the need to occassionally change speeds.

Actually, this isn't true. When Slansky talks about game structure, he is talking about the size of the antes (or blinds) in relation to the bet sizes. In the case of NL, the bet size is capped only by the amount of money in play, therefore the comparison that is important is effective stack size compared to blind size. This is not really relevant, because it also means that implied odds goes way up as well as stack sizes go up. So he is really talking about ante structure in a fixed limit betting game (10-20 7stud with a $1 ante and $5 bring in, versues 10-20 stud with a $.50 ante and $2 bring in play very differently).

1-2 NL with $200 stacks has the same exact structure as $10000-$20000 NL with $2,000,000 stacks.

Edit: Oh and if you only thought that there were two things relevant to SSNL you should probably re-read the book starting from the beginning.
