Fenrir, better not change that without knowing the consequences and the interactions with other settings. I recommend 8 for both performance and spawning balance reasons. If you increase the value, the load used for chunk generation and loading will increase with 100/64 - 100 = ca. 60%. Without adjusting spawning limits, this will then reduce mob spawning occurence with a comparable percentage, resulting in noticably less entities spawning around players. The latter does not compensate the cpu load effect from the increased chunks loading, as it basically leads to larger spread of entities spawning. At least, that is my interpretation of the observations I made.
