Too much fork?

Hi all,
I own a 1998 Stumpjumper FS and recently upgraded the fork (and everything else that had to go with it!) to a Marzocchi MX Comp with 105mm travel. This is my first real experience with newer forks. Seems like a great fork, but I'm wondering now if I've over-forked my bike (and spent a heap of unnecessary cash in the process) by changing the frame geometry or whatever.

Will a fork this long negatively affect the handling of my bike? And what are the things I should look out for or compensations I might make?

Thanks for any thoughts!
