When I switched a while back, I found a script to do the recompile on
the forums that worked very well.  It is better than doing a system
twice then a world on top of that.  I have a copy of the script if you
would like to use it but it is on the forums somewhere.  I may can find
it.  I think it is in the documentation tips and tricks section, I think.

I haven't had any trouble after my upgrade.  I guess it depends on what
you have installed though from what I have read in your posts.
