What side effects of changing precision are there?
I am changing the precision in the php.ini file to 20. We need to work (math) with LARGE numbers could there be any problems?

I can't think of any problems you might run into. I did read something at this site where they say you should be using PHP's 'binary calculator' functions to do any math with large numbers that need precision handling:
