My work is in real time only, and I've used floats forever. However, I'm 
open to change.

A year or more ago when I did tests, floats was signficantly faster (by 17% 
or so, IIRC) than doubles. Recently Mike and Felipe seem to have found that 
one is now as fast as the other, in some cases with doubles at a slight 
advantage.

Anyone who has current data, especially relevent to Windows XP up through 
Windows 7, and to 32-bit vs. 64-bit operating systems, I would much 
appreciate the information.
