small point:
I believe on x86, doubles are native, and therefore faster than floats.
x86 works with 80 bit floats internally.
does the extra 32bits of precision make a difference in this case?
It's 30 bits extra precision actually (because the exponent takes 2 more
bits), but as I already explained it doesn't matter how much precision
you have.
