Under what conditions does EQEmu have to be recompiled? (I simply want to get a good idea of just how much work is going to be involved, obviously the compiling process adds 5 minutes or so each compile)

64bit will let the zone/world use more than 3gb of ram. Really no zone server should be using that much (its a per proccess thing not total) so no real benefit to 64 in that sense. There are some performance gains but they are fairly minmal esp on a windows system.

EQEMu only needs a recompile if you update your source code (source edits/updates from SVN) Everything else is handled from pearl/xml/ini files.
